Alien attack by Max Chase
111 pgs.Target audience: Ages 7 to 10
Rating: Wizard
Peri is a pilot and a first
year cadet at the Intergalactic Force Academy. It’s the year 5012 and all the
planets in the Milky Way have banded together to form the IFA, an elite group
of fighters sworn to protect and defend the galaxy. On a routine mission in
their space pod, Peri and his half-Martian friend, Diesel, are attacked by an
alien ship. But just before their pod is annihilated by DeathRays, they’re
transported back to the station which is under attack. The two pilots are
immediately forced aboard a cloaked ship that looks like a giant egg and told
that they have their orders which of course they know nothing about. As Peri
and Diesel desperately try to figure out how to fly this ship, the space
station explodes leaving them as the last defense against the alien invasion.
The black and white illustrations do a great job of bringing the text alive.
The ship is stock full of cool gadgetry and fighting abilities. Add to that
Martian curses, monstrous aliens, the deadly vortex that eats spaceships alive
and it’s a recipe for an unstoppable adventure series. (This book provided for review by Children's Lit - www.childrenslit.com)
