This story primarily follows a boy named Thomas Hill. He and a few of his friends are taken to an alien planet, where he discovers that he’s only half human. Thomas learns that he possesses supernatural abilities similar to the aliens, only realizing their origin once on the alien planet. His friends get captured and separated, and the alien leaders want him to help them gain control over other planets. Thomas must harness his powers to defeat the aliens and rescue his friends, but it’s not as simple as it might seem. The aliens are highly intelligent, and Thomas must fight hard to keep the aliens from knowing his plans.
This was a fun read. I liked the concept of a half-human, half-alien with superpowers. I enjoyed the abilities that both Thomas and the aliens had, as well as those unique to Thomas. This was a story about friendship, staying true to oneself, and doing the right thing for the greater good. It’s a lengthy read, so be prepared to set aside plenty of time to fully immerse yourself in it.
Who should read this book: Anyone who loves a good young adult story with fantasy and sci-fi.
