Explorer X Alpha eBook LM Preston

For most kids, a trip to space camp is the trip of a lifetime—for Aadi it was life altering. After receiving a camp immunization needed for travel to Mars, Aadi finds that the immunization is the catalyst of an insidious experiment. He realizes what is happening too late for a change of fate. The full experiment is set in motion when he and his co-pilot, Eirena, crash in a distant galaxy called Shrenas, where they change and realize the full extent of their power. This turn of events forces him to grow up quickly, accept his change, and to decide to save a world, or to do what he was trained to do—dominate it. His power is coveted by the warring leaders of Shrenas, and he is forced to choose sides—a decision that may prove just how much humanity he has left.
Explorer X Alpha eBook LM Preston
Explorer X-Alpha embodied a well-written and fun Sci-fi start to an interesting series. I admired the strong characters, especially the females. However, I did find it humorous at times which balanced out their personalities. The beginning started out a little slow to me but once the secrets are revealed the story picked up. It was filled with action and the LM did get a good job putting the reader through an adventure. The ending was decent but it did finish with a cliffhanger. I wasn't surprised since most of my questions will probably be answered in the sequel, The Pack, coming out in Fall 2010. Overall, a cute read which would be better for Middle Grade but Young Adults could enjoy it as well. I surprisingly liked it even though I normally don't go for this type of genre. The only negative thing is I really dislike the cover, my first initial thought was Mega Man, remember that video game? hehe.Product details

Explorer X Alpha eBook LM Preston Reviews
Explorer X - Alpha was a fun adventure, but it had it's flaws.
The characters are strong and brave, but not all of them are (which I found to be a relief, and quite humorous at points). At first, I was a bit put off by Aadi, but soon grew to enjoy his character (and adore Ebu!), but I found myself really wanting to know more about a few other characters, like Tacitus. Eirena and Raiko were awesome female characters, although I preferred Raiko over Eirena, because I found Eirena's attitude to be insufferable.
Once the real action starts, the story grasped me and drew me in. In the end, I was pleased with what we found out, but left curious about a few more things (which is good, considering this is only the first novel). I wish I could say more, but then I would be spoiling the plot!
Highlights Once the reader finally learns the secrets regarding this space camp, the story seems to really kick into action. Plus, by that time, I really was enjoying the characters. The action was addictive, and I loved how even the girls could totally kick butt. I love the world L.M. created, but I want to see more.
Lowlights The worst part to the novel would have to be it's dialog. At times, it felt odd, and the characters only sounded like the children they were when they were insulting each other. The author rarely used contractions (instead choosing to say "I did not" instead of the simpler, more child-like "I didn't"), and so at times I found it a bit awkward. Even the narrative seemed a bit stiff at times.
In EXPLORER X - ALPHA by LM Preston, Aadi is sent off to space camp instead of the sports camp that he longed to go to. Little did he know that the camp would forever change his life.
After getting an immunization before the camp's trip to Mars, he and his teammates discover that they are part of an experiment. The travel to Mars goes extremely wrong and Aadi and his partner, Eirena, discover that they are on a planet they have never heard of and come across creatures they never dreamt of. Aadi and Eirena have to do what they were trained to do and fight to stay alive.
The characters were okay for me. I thought that the main character, Aadi, was a strong, positive character. And I liked that the females were strong (both mentally and physically), as well. But I have to admit that I got a couple of secondary characters confused quite often. There were two characters named Dakota and Damien that I often got mixed up and had to go back and figure out which kid I was reading about. There were also times toward the end when the story was talking about the different species that I got confused.
But other than that, the plot was good and well thought out. I thought the idea of an experiment on these kids and what happened as a result was fresh and new. And I liked reading about all of the technology that was in the book in the year 2080. There were several that I thought that I wanted now!
The book ends on a cliffhanger and you don't really know if they are safe or not. I want to read the next book in the series to find out more!

The book starts off a bit slow, but soon picks up speed and draws you in. The characters are strong and the plot very different from anything I've read. There are sections in the book that are a bit confusing and you have to pay close attention to the story, but overall it is a good read and I would recommend it to older children and young adults.
The beginning to the novel was a little slow for my liking but about halfway through the book it started to pick up. The novel revolves around Aadi, a teen sent off to space camp against his will by his parents and soon is caught in a battle of good vs. evil. I think the reason why it was so slow for me was the writing. It just sounded like they were more adult then teenagers. Phrases were repeated often and the sounded like robots a lot of the time. Although, I will give the author kudos on how she would change the point of views every once in a while so that we could see it from a different character's perspective. Those were def my favorite ones to read. I loved the idea of the novel and the overall message it expresses. There was def some action, a little romance and dangerous situation in which the author put the characters choose their own destiny. Overall it was a pretty good read, it's one that you can sit down and read on a sunny day. Anyway, I give this novel 3.5 out of 5 paws.
This book has alot of action and twists. I really enjoyed reading it. It was hard to put the book down. The plot was well thought out and held your attention till the very end. Although this is a YA book, preteen and adults alike will get a kick out of what this book has to offer. It leaves you wanting more, hence a sequel. And if a movie were in the making that would be even better!
