Million-copy bestselling Halo author and game developer Eric Nylund again brings action-packed science fiction to a young audience with the riveting second book in The Resisters series. Even as he trains to be a pilot for the Resisters, twelve-year-old Ethan Blackwood is still reeling from the news that aliens called the Ch'zar have taken over the world and put all the adults under their mind control. Now the Ch'zar mechanical bug armies are growing. The Resisters need more pilots like Ethan, kids who aren't afraid to think for themselves. Ethan knows just where the Ch'zar send troublemakers like that—to Sterling Reform School. Can Ethan find a way to break into Sterling and recruit new fighters before the enemy discovers the Resisters' underground base?

From School Library Journal:

Gr 5-7-Ethan Blackwood, 12, has always dreamed of being part of the Resisters, flying super-fast robot bug spaceships in simulation games, and taking classes to find out how to beat their alien enemy, the Ch'zar. In the second book (Random, 2012) of the series by Eric Nylund, Ethan and his friends must break into the Sterling Reform School and gather more recruits for the Resisters' pilot program. Peter Berkrot's narration helps move the story along, creating unique voices for the characters. However, even spot-on narration doesn't help the story's main problems-lack of a driven plot line and character development. Very little back story is provided, so listeners unfamiliar with the first title will find the story very hard to follow. Only the most dedicated fans of the series will listen to this to the end.-Katie Llera, Sayreville Middle School, NJα(c) Copyright 2011.
