Liss, David, Rebels. Pgs. 391. Simon and
Schuster, 2016. $17.99. Language: G, Mature Content: PG, Violence: PG
After he and his friends were labeled criminals for stealing
Phandic Cruisers to expose the Phands’ true plans for the universe, Zeke
Reynolds finds himself back on Earth. But, he’s not alone. Inside his head is
an Alien Intelligence organism suit he calls Smelly, who will remind readers of
Tony Stark’s suit. When an alien from the Confederation Council enlists his and
his friends’ help to save the universe again, Zeke and his friends find
themselves not only up against stopping the evil Phand alien race, but also
dealing with a power-hungry politician. Will the group save the people who
shunned them as well as Earth? Will they ever be accepted by the alien
confederation?
This science fiction adventure is action-packed, fast-paced,
and full of humor. The characters are even more well-developed, Smelly is
snarky and adds a lot of depth to the book, and the dynamics between them is masterfully
crafted. The plot is well developed, complex, and intriguing. Fans who enjoy
space adventures like Star Wars, Clete
Barrett Smith’s Aliens on Vacation, and Thacher
Hurde’s Bongo Fishing will be easily
drawn into Zeke’s world. You will, however, need to read the first one, Randoms,
first.
