This review describes an uncorrected proof. The published version may be different.

Kylee detected clichés in this book. Read her comments and cringe:
Have you ever read a book about ships and aliens in space? Do you want to read another? The first 10-20 you have read before have been pretty okay, so this one should be just as good right? If you have been thinking yes to these questions, then forget this review and go get the book. You will love this “wholly original saga” about this “Galaxy on the brink of war” and this “one unforgettable family caught in the middle of it.”

First, I would like to point out I didn’t finish it. I got to page 31 and was just done with it. Is Harper-Collins the one lacking creativity, or is that you, Mr. Fry? Really, you think that we need ANOTHER humans, aliens, spaceship, Star wars, Independents day, one boy that can save them all book?

I do like the way you have the mom think they are more civilized and law abiding and then the dad knows they are bloody pirates and scoundrels. But the way you put it in there it just makes it contradicts itself. You don’t tell us a lot about what’s happening or who the main character is. I know sometimes it’s better to just put a character in a problem and see how they deal with it so the reader can learn about them. But after it was done, I didn’t really know anything more about the characters than when I started.

I don’t recommend this book to any one.
