The Resisters

review 1: This is a book 10 year old Drew would have loved and one that 29 year old Drew liked. It's a typical story, main character discovers the world is not as it appears and with the aid of two friends he learn to harness his new found powers. In this book the world has been taken over by aliens and all adults are brainwashed, but pre-pubescent kids are immune to the brainwashing, so they are the ones who fight the aliens. This is a good start to what should be a good series.
review 2: Young Ethan Blackwood had a normal life until he's grabbed by two other kids, a boy and a girl, and forced to face uncomfortable truths. He doesn't believe their story, it's too crazy, until they show him the proof.Fifty+ years before, aliens had seized control of Earth, blanketing the... more Earth with mind control the instant they achieved orbit. What this race hadn't counted on was that children that hadn't gone through puberty weren't controlled. Gathering them into camps until they did didn't work either. They needed a normal upbringing until that time in order to be functional in the new order.So small towns were placed all over the world where children were raised until the time, where they were then sent to prep schools. That was what the kids believed.There is a resistance though. A small group in an underground bunker originally set up to preserve plant and animal life in case a nuclear war broke out. As long as the adults remained underground they were safe.So children became the warriors, fighting in giant, mutated insects, cyborgs with computers, a cockpit, weapons, stealthware, and armor built in.Ethan is destined to be one of the fighters, in his wasp armor, and later to be one of the leaders.A lot of fun this one. Even for an old "young adult" like me. less
