BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Aoleon and Gilbert have become the
Luminon’s top priority in stopping the Martian resistance movement, and after
being chased by the Royal Paladin Guard, they are forced to flee the Martian
Megalopolis. Aoléon, Gilbert and Zoot escape with the help of Bizwat and his
newly found friend, Helios, a first generation soldierbot.
After their saucer is destroyed, they
crash land somewhere in the deep Martian desert, and they set out to locate
Kyrios and the secret base where Aoleon’s parents are being held captive.
After battling the forces of nature,
starvation, a Klyklon dust storm, (and not to mention a giant slor that almost
swallows them alive), they finally make it to their destination. However, after
Kyrios gives Gilbert some basic training to develop his budding psionic power,
they learn that their journey is far from over.
Will Aoléon, Glbert, Bizwat, Helios,
and Zoot be able to rescue Aoleon’s parents and stop the Martian invasion of
Earth in time?

NOW FOR THE REVIEW:
The book starts with Phobos, Aoleon’s
mother, sitting in a cell and her exchange with a fellow prisoner which leads
him to be taken away for interrogation. The grim opening scene (hopefully)
written to show us how tough the Martian government and the Luminon are gives
us an idea of what to expect. On one hand, we see Aoleon trying to save her
parents and on the other we see the Luminon creating and strengthening his
army. Tension builds up in an uneven pace in the book.
With help from Kyrios, a wise old
Martian, Aoleon learns to enhance her powers while Gilbert learns to harness
his abilities. The Luminon’s unforgiving attempts to terminate the revolt are
described in detail, bearing an eerie similarity to some of the famous wars we
already know. The penultimate book of the series sets the stage for book 5 and
keeps the anticipation up!
BEST PARTS:
(A
compilation of scenes that were – I guess unintentionally – too funny that I laughed
out loud, inappropriately!)

Aliens Carjacking and shopping.
·
Speaker Peeper Lisping. “I’m tho
thorry Thenator, but that information is CLATHIFIED”
·
Gilbert’s message to the ‘Terrans’
via the NASA Mars Rover.
·
When Kyrios sounds like Dumbledore.
SPECIAL MENTION:
The graphics of the books in this
series are always a visual treat, but they were more pronounced in this book
because they helped the readers visualise some of the most unimaginable
scenarios and Martian monsters in the story. Special mention and applause for
that!
