Nathan Hale takes a break from his non-fiction Hazardous
Tales series to branch out into a futuristic sci-fi story. The world has been invaded by aliens that eat
technology. Three teens, who have gone
off on their own to scavenge for technology before the aliens get to it, find a
huge underground stash that includes a magnificent robot pony. Unfortunately the technology alerts the
aliens, who also eat human limbs. The
teens are in a race for their lives as they try to outrun the aliens and escape
a faction of outlaws, while keeping their caravan of digital rescuers
safe. The pony may just be the key they
need to fight back.
Nathan Hale bring
back his signature humor, and his art, all done in yellows and grays, advances
the story line. The ending seemed a bit
abrupt, but it was a fun ride getting there.
This is a quick read that will have you rooting for the main characters
as they race to get out of the alien hot zone.
EL/MS-ADVISABLE.
