At the heart of a global economic recovery effort, the mysterious secretary general of the Order of Nations Enterprise presides over a vast infrastructure project, the VAC. The VAC connects the wealth and civilized world of 32 mega-alpha cities through underground trains in vacuum chamber tunnels traveling in excess of 8,000 kmh.

Seventeen-year-old Jada Brilliant adjusts to life after losing her father, anxiously awaiting the next chapter of her life in college - until a chance trip to an Outlier City with her grandfather results in a freak accident in the Everglades, leaving her in sole possession of a secret formula capable of world domination.

Left alone, fleeing from the wilderness into the world's new cosmopolitan capitol, Jada is in a race for her life to keep her grandfather's legacy from what she believes is corporate espionage, only to realize she is being pursued by the most powerful man on Earth.

When these two worlds collide, Jada's new passage to adulthood presses the envelope of courage, love, trust, and survival.

A carefully built up futuristic society with well thought out plot has always been my weakness. There are very few books which can actually give just the right amount of both truth and fantasy and this book by Micheal is definitely one of them.There are a lot of layers in the story which are unravelled slowly and aptly timed.Set in the year 2043, the author has made good use of his imagination. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them actually become a part of our future society especially Order of Nations Enterprise. That's my favourite part in the entire book I think! Jada's character really caught my eye as she is just another normal teen,whose life isn't so normal anymore.Waiting eagerly for the second book!

He knows how to compose elegant flowing prose and create a clear picture in the reader’s mind. He also knows how to write in an immediate way, so we feel as if we are in the story. His characters are easy-to-relate-to people with real fears, real reactions and real dialogue. They ring true, as does the world—a strange mix of old and new. It’s a great concept and a fascinating world.Vitrium is set around 30 years in the future in a world with new kinds of fabrics, new methods of travel and ONE, a huge global company, run by a man who saved the world from economic collapse, that does many things and probably a lot more than most people know. Jada is a teenage girl with an awesome grandfather who takes her travelling with him around the world. The first half of the book is about her travels and interactions with her brother, her mother and her school friends. The second goes somewhere completely different—into the underbelly of her world. That would be okay if the plot wielded the two halves together, but that isn’t the case; unfortunately, the book falls down on plot and pacing.The basic element of a plot is a protagonist, their goal and an antagonist to get in the way of them achieving their goal. The sooner these elements are set up in a plot, the sooner the reader knows what the book is about and why they should keep reading. By 25% of the way through a book, at the latest, we should know what the challenge is, what the obstacles are and who the bad guy/main obstacle is. We need to be wondering how the central character is going to get out of their fix, achieve their goal, or uncover the mystery. But in Vitrium at 40% of the way in, I still had no idea what the book was about. I knew the world, and the characters, and I had some sense that ONE might be a problem along the track somewhere—shades of a megalomaniac at the helm—but despite the many words, I had no idea what the story was about.The problem is that the first half—the first several chapters in particular—were very slow moving. The writing was overly descriptive and elaborated on unnecessary and unimportant details of daily life, even to the extent of having a completely unnecessary eating-sushi scene that didn’t move the story ahead in any way at all. It’s definitely a darling that needs to be murdered! The first few chapters could easily be scaled back into one.A hint of a romantic interest enters into the book around 30% of the way in, but the actual plot isn’t revealed until half way through, then after some very dramatic events which reveal the depravity at the centre of ONE, the police became the bad guys and the rest of the book is a fanciful chase. The fanciful nature of the chase isn’t a problem—it’s exciting and creative—the problem is simply that these elements weren’t woven in from early on.The first chapter is so barely connected to the rest of the story that it seems like a throw in, an attempt to give the book some action at the start; it does that, and it’s a good scene, but then the book goes on without the events being assimilated into the plot, so the scene is left hanging. Somehow the cause of the hotel collapse in the first scene needs to be linked with the man behind the disaster in the second half of the book, a hint is all it needs, a mystery to hook the reader—who is behind the hotel collapse? And perhaps some suggestion that someone wanted someone dead—just enough to make the reader wonder—or that hint can be fed out a little later. Some sense of mystery or impending doom needed to be wound in through the establishing scenes before the disaster. A touch of foreshadowing, perhaps. Or perhaps not—the point is that introducing characters and the world they live in is not, on its own, sufficient to hold the first half of a book together, particularly not YA fantasy.Less is more when it comes to description. The author has a talent with imagery that I applaud, but he has used it too thickly. It’s like too much cheese sprinkled on the bolognaise sauce—it becomes too rich and smothers the tomato flavour. Less cheese allows us to appreciate the bolognaise. In the same way, descriptive sentences should be peppered between more simple sentences that simply move the action forward. It’s also like framing a picture—frame those lovely descriptions in plain language.So how to rate this one? The author’s skill with prose makes me want to be very encouraging, clearly he has what it takes, but the book is flawed on a fundamental level. Plot is king, and young adult readers can’t wait around for a story to begin, and feel they have to scan the descriptions to get to the bit where they find out what happens next.So I’m going to go with a 3, which means that it’s well worth reading. I hope that after this shaky start the author can bring something more sophisticated out for the rest of the series because it’s a great world, great characters and a good premise. The potential for a very interesting series is here.I received this book free of charge from the author in return for an honest review.

People will actually be living on Mars? Teleportation? Sci-fi novels seem to satisfy my questions like this, and especially if they are as good as Michael Guthrie's venture into futuristic sci-fi.Though the plot is futuristic,it has a touch of reality and I think that is one of the best things about this book! The author has managed to beautifully combine both what we see today and what he thinks could be seen! I absolutely adore the character of Jada. Maybe because I wish my life was half as interesting as her's ;) Also, the concept of VAC is very endearing.A thrilling sci-fi with parts of fantasy is always a welcome afternoon read. Highly recommended to all!
