Etherwalker (The Silicon Covenant Series)

In the first book of this thrilling adventure series, an unlikely hero sets out to save a broken world. Enoch sees things differently than the other youth in Rewn's Fork, and that makes him an outcast. When he accidentally awakens a powerful Artificial Intelligence, he discovers the truth behind his peculiarity—Enoch is an Etherwalker, the last in a long line of powerful technopaths who can control machines with their minds. Without knowing it, he has triggered the ancient Hunt, and now legendary monsters are hungry for his blood and bent on his extinction. They know he has seen the truth behind the broken world, and, if he survives, he may have the power to shatter it . . . or to make it whole again.
