It's a hard life when you're a super genius capable of many things, including using your mind in ways that others only dream of. Freddy Anderson used that ability working to save the world from a world ending disaster. However, the human race is now at war. Aliens have attacked and captured many of our top people including Freddy Anderson and are headed back to their home world. They are trying to extract from his mind information that will help them understand how the humans destroyed their greatest ship and how to annihilate the entire human race.
John Ricks was born in Longview, Washington, and moved thirteen times before he finished middle school. After graduating high school he joined the Navy, where he spent twenty more years traveling the world, meeting new and astonishing people. His degrees, extensive reading, and traveling have helped him see all life in a wonderfully different way. He developed a great sense of fantasy, and his children were always amazed with the stories he could tell.
4 stars, because it starts slow, but interesting ideas about the news media. I have read the book several times, and have enjoyed it and the other 2 books in the series each time.
Good science fiction with hint of young adult fiction
Juvenile super scientist kidnapped by aliens plot. I suspect he would be treated more badly by other humans if real. I would suspect murdered by agents of other countries or ISIS types most likely.
