Earth has been taken over by
aliens, except for a few free territories like the Americas. Humanity is losing
fast, however. Their only home is a team of six teens selected to infiltrate
the enemy’s headquarters in the heart of the Australian Outback. As the recon
mission stats, it goes terribly wrong and it’s apparent that there’s a spy
amongst them. Can the teens figure out who has betrayed them before it’s too
late?
This action-filled novel is
implausible, but entertaining. The characters are likable and believable.
Readers interested in science fiction novels, war, aliens, and suspense will
enjoy reading this book. HS. ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media
Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
