An excellent start to this good YA dystopian series! Great characters, interesting plot! A little intriguing! I will be reading the following books ASAP so I can find out what happens! I do recommend for all who love this genre!
What a delightful story. The first in a trilogy set in a futuristic world of colonies in space but connected to Earth where the” Elite” learn and live seemingly perfect lives.
But of course , all is not as it first appears.
This story follows Rowen and Jeda as they discover untruths and anomalies but it’s also the beginning of what could be a beautiful friendship, maybe even more.
Just have to read the rest of the series to find out.
Very enjoyable read for “ all” ages.
“Station Alpha” is the first installment in the “Miles & Breaker” Series by Nicole, a sci-fi mystery series set into a dystopian future that blends elements of YA paranormal romance and dystopian competition games to into an interesting story with agreeable and rather relatable characters. This is an entertaining, fast-paced, and action-filled story, good-written and with a very well-balance mystery/romance ration.
The book marks the start to the ‘Miles & Breaker’ story. Station Alpha is an orbital station created to save Earth, but in order to gain permanent citizenship to the station, every resident has to take part into a competition, whose only possible outcomes are graduation or deportation. Jada Breaker and Rowan Miles are both seniors about to compete for their citizenship. Jada has a bright future ahead of her as headmaster of the station, providing she graduates. Rowan needs to graduate to save her sister and the planet. Destiny would like to make them enemies, but fate will make them allies in exposing the hidden truth behind tragic deaths and corrupted files.
This review is for the “Miles & Breaker” Arc 1 Box Set by Nicole Adrianne. It is an interesting, sci fi, dystopian mystery set in the future. Author Adrianne gives readers young love; high school in outer space (and glimpses of it on a ravaged earth;) and cool science and tech. The main characters are intelligent and their interactions are clean.
I appreciated the lack of typos. There are some instances of inconsistencies, both within an individual book and among a couple. For instance, in the first book, Rowan decides to leave all but his favorite book behind, but then later Jada sees all his old books on a shelf.
Young adults especially should enjoy this series.
I received an ARC for an honest review.
I Loved this Book and did not know if I would like it but I read it from beginning to the end. The story line was so good it kept me reading it until the end. The characters were so instrumental to the story and I would read more from this author.
Station Alpha: Miles and Breaker #1, my first read from author Nicole Adrianne, an author I’d otr heard of before. 164-pages, but reads longer due to the detail written in. At first, it seemed like typical academy fare but it soon turned into a page-turning captivating read. I’m voluntarily reviewing it because every good books need reviews. I look forward to more from this author. Next up is Station Theta (Miles & Breaker, #2). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Station Alpha, which introduces us to Rowan Miles and Jada Breaker, is family-friendly and can be read in a long morning. I read Station Omega first and recommend reading the books in the proper order. I’ve had the ARC in my queue for several years now and was delighted to finally get to it. This voluntary review is my own opinion.
This first book in the Miles & Breaker series immediately hooks you into the story by means of the two main characters you can’t help but fall in love with and the smooth, subtle worldbuilding that leaves you wanting more and more every time you turn the page. Not only does it focus on a manageable and personal story within their corrupted world, but also weaves the stories of so many additional characters and lives in and around them. If you aren’t instantly captivated by Jada Breaker and Rowan Miles, countless side characters with enchanting personalities and backstories, or even a futuristic and corrupted world built upon the morals of space and neurological connections, then you need to seriously reconsider your reading choices.
Reminiscent of Ender’s Game meets Hunger Games this future dystopian world features children strictly segregated according to mental ability with the elite being sent to posh satellites and the less fortunate often struggling on earth. Of course all is not as perfect as it appears with hints of both war and a deep seated conspiracy at the highest levels. Jada and Rowen both need to graduate on top and are poised to be enemies – but do they need to be?
This is the first book in a series and as such spends most of its time setting the stage for what is to come. The world that unfolds and the characters that populate it promise a rich and engrossing story with plenty of teen angst and coming of age challenges. It kind of ended just as things were getting interesting but not a cliff hanger.
Station Alpha is the first book in the Miles & Breaker series. It tells the story of Rowan, a boy who is incredibly smart. But because he wanted to help his little sister with her studies, he cheats on the tests so that he appears less smart. These tests are very important because they relocate people according to their intelligence. After his sister got relocated to France, Rowan doesn’t have any reason to stay. He doesn’t cheat on his test anymore and so he got relocated to station Alpha in space. There he meets his new classmate Jada, the smartest girl in the universe. Together they try to solve some mysteries and questions they have. I really enjoyed reading this book! The characters were very likable and they are well developed. The plot was also very interesting to me. I even read this book in one day! That says a lot for me. The world building was also great! I liked the descriptions of the space station with the different sections. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read young adult with some light science fiction.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
