Space Cadets

Space Cadets #1-4

by Adam Moon

Two hundred years ago, aliens came to earth. They abducted millions of people and then told the rest that they were going to evaluate humanity over the course of the next several hundred years. If the earthlings didn't measure up to their standards, they'd be back to eliminate them. So guess what humanity has done since then? They geared up for war. Jack Peterson is a cadet training in Mars' orbit, trying to graduate from the academy. When his class goes on a field trip to a warship, events unfold that will change his life forever. Onboard the warship his conscious mind is transferred to an A.C.E mechanized combat unit and a battle for survival begins as he tests the limits of his new mechanical body. He is now a super soldier and combat training just got real.

A surprisingly quick read for a book that contained the four A.C.E. books. I wanted to give this series more than two stars; however, I just couldn't bring myself to do so. The premise of the story was, in fact, not bad ... I only wish the author had written it. My immediate impression was maybe this was the first attempt at publishing his own books, and he got the 'outline' of his series down, but just never 'filled' the story in with, well, a story. My best example that I can come up with is an author who wrote about America. "The Pilgrims came to America on some boats. Some lived ... some died. Then the British attacked America. Some lived ... some died. The End."

I didn't like the book too much, it felt like it rushed through the story, and felt quite shallow in character and story development. The plot-twists where mostly surprising because they seemed completely absurd and.. unconnected to what happend before.

Another enjoyable read by Adam Moon. Not as good as his Zero, Zero 2.0,...,Zero 5.0 series but good nonetheless.
