Our Review

A group of talented young astronauts-in-training embarks on a critical mission to the International Space Station, where they must use their wits and courage to prevent a devastating alien invasion of Earth. This propulsive science fiction adventure thrusts readers into a high-stakes scenario that blends realistic space station operations with the thrilling threat of the hideous Kylarn aliens. The narrative moves at light speed from the Challenger Center training facility to the zero-gravity environment of orbital science, creating an immersive experience for readers who crave authentic space exploration details.

What sets this interstellar adventure apart is how it transforms its young protagonists from observers into active defenders of humanity's future, emphasizing teamwork and scientific problem-solving under extreme pressure. The dynamic between JJ, her brother Dylan, and their friends creates a believable crew dynamic that will resonate with middle grade and young adult readers who enjoy character-driven action. This second installment in the series successfully builds upon its foundation by raising the stakes while maintaining the educational elements that make the space science feel genuine and exciting.
