I'm
now a senior citizen but as a teen I loved science fiction. This
novel is one I thoroughly enjoyed now and would have devoured then.
This
novel has everything that makes science fiction so much fun. There
are adorable aliens and really scary ones too. There are lots of
advanced scientific technique and gadgets. There is space and time
travel, with rips in the fabric of space time. There are great teen
characters who must save the world from evil.
That
brings up the allegorical nature of the story. Lakin has crafted a
good plot that parallels the introduction of evil into our world and
its growing influence in our society. A subtle aspect of the battle
against the evil forces is how the teens have to work together. Each
teen has a unique skill and only as they work together can they
counter the many facets of the evil aliens.
I
recommend this novel to teens who love science fiction involving the
battle between good and evil. You'll be entertained by some great
science fiction scenes and you'll be encouraged to think about
overcoming your obstacles and working with others.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
