Systems [can be compared to] to Phillip K.
Dick's VALIS and Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.
... Readers want a story with something new and different, but also
believable. They want big themes but believable characters. Karim's
novel has these all. ... But the best compliment I can give is that
when I finished it, I found myself wishing there were a sequel!

So Orwellian, minus the Orwellian dead ends.

Saleena Karim has created a first-rate, suspenseful
science fiction thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their
seats ... Brave people, risking their lives, take a stand against
those in power.

Saleena has created a well-crafted suspense/thriller.
... the themes of justice and liberty, as well as the complexities
of conspiracy theory, [were] thought-provoking. The paranormal aspects,
the psychic abilities, were artfully woven into the story line and
were an essential focus. This novel was a page-turner, `stay up
late to read' story for me.

It's X-Files from the other side ... You'll find many twists and
turns ... as well as intriguing characters that will draw you right
into their world.

Papanou, visionary fiction author and graphic artist
---------------------
An exquisitely penned psychological thriller ...
Do any of us really know who is who in our deepest of hearts in
this world of uncertainty? Including your friends, your family members,
acquaintances and your neighbors? Do we really ever know WHO to
trust especially factoring in the power of the government (of any
country) and what lengths they will go to control their people?
This topic has been one of many a novel - but not written in the
same league as it is in Systems! ... The choices and sacrifices
made by [the characters] are powerful and will stay with the reader
forever. I hope.

Systems will become a cult classic! [The
Original Conspiracy was] such an accurate description of our society
... Scientia est potentia!
