The aliens have massed on the
Northeastern edge of Russia waiting to strike when the waters of the Bering
Strait freeze over. The Earth’s only hope: 6 teens specially trained to
infiltrate and destroy the aliens who threaten to invade. The altered to look
like the Bzadian teens, hatch a desperate plan: to destroy the largest
Bzadian fuel cell manufacturing and storage center in Australia. Will Lt. Ryan
"Lucky" Chisnall and his team succeed?
Although the characters are cartoonlike and the chain of
events that leads to the final outcome of the mission is a little unbelievable,
the fast-paced action, and short, clipped dialogue will keep the reader wanting
more. Recommended for readers who enjoy science fiction, military fiction, and
aliens. MS, HS. OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media Specialist,
