The Planet Thieves

review 1: Audiobook. YA book narrated by Kirby Heyborne. Entertaining enough. Heyborne has an unusual cadence to his voice, with pauses where pauses don't belong, but he is animated in the right places. I won't get off on a rant about the implausibility of a plot where children are given command of a star ship. It's a YA book after all, and I'm sure it hits it's demographic right on target. So I got through it, although I can't say it ever put me on the edge of my seat. I doubt I'll follow up with the next book in the series.
review 2: The Planet Thieves falls into that wonderful category of science fiction for the young teens and tween crowd. The action gets underway right away as 13 year-old Mason Stark pulls a prank that backfires in the midst of an inter-species c... moreonfrontation. From there, Mason and his friends are in a race against aliens, circumstances and their own mistakes. There are a couple of points when the science seems a bit farfetched, and you need to suspend your disbelief a bit about the responsibility Mason takes on, but these are tiny blips in a wonderful, exciting story. I look forward to the next installment, and meanwhile will go out and get a copy of Mr Krokos' first book, False Memory. less
