Chase and his younger sister Lilli have special abilities, but
they don’t know why. It might have something to do with their parents, who they
have heard might be alive but have always been told they were killed. They are
safe for now, and so is their secret, aboard the spaceship of Captain Lennard.
Then the ship becomes involved in an inter-planetary moon dispute and things
turn ugly, including a crash landing and capture! Chase still wants to know about
his parents and his abilities, but protecting his younger but they are caught in
the middle of a very dangerous set of circumstances.
This book is complex, political, and fast paced. There just wasn’t
enough descriptions of aliens, people and places to allow my imagination any
foot hold to get into the story. I felt like I was just reading words. There
were very few spaces to get to know the characters between dangerous and
complex situations. I enjoyed the first book, it still had a sense of mischief,
but this one was just overly long and it lost all intrigue for me. Readers may
want to read this second book if they liked the first.
