In this 4th
book we find the alien Ch’zar presence on Earth at an all-time high, they
appear to be harvesting more of our resources than ever. Ethan in charge of
ragged group of Resisters have survived and fled the destruction of their all-important
seed bank base. Luckily they are semi-safe at an old military installment,
which is full of technology and interesting things to discover, like food! Things
are at their most desperate with the resistance, and Ethan comes up with a wild
plan that may cost him his life.
Oddly enough, I
have now read book #2 and Book #4 in the series, despite this disjointedness I
really enjoy them. This one can’t quite stand as a read-alone at this point.
The dystopic alien invasion scenario is really appealing and popular right now.
Students will love the plot component that adult minds can be corrupted by
alien influence, leaving only the children to do the fighting back. This book is fairly heavy
on battles and military tactic, less on the character development, but it
is still worth adding it to your collection.
