In the second book in the series about an alien invasion of Earth, twins Sam and Wyatt have been separated. Sam has been taken to the alien’s planet and Wyatt remains on Earth working with other humans in a rebellion. The humans left on Earth are all too young, too old, or have a disability; however, they are proving too strong for the aliens to control. Wyatt uses technology to fight back and to create a communication network for the remaining humans. Up in alien territory, Sam and the other captured humans, are sent out each day to kill the enemies of their enemies. Sam befriends Mia who refuses to kill and together they begin to unravel their complicated situation and devise a plan for escape. The action-packed plot alternates between the two settings and the two twins. The accompanying art is bold and colorful. The characters on Earth prove that everyone has an important role to play, breaking the stereotype of the typical “hero” in an action story. Recommended for grades 6 and up.
