This book is one of the more nerve racking adventures in the series...


*Spoilers*



As the comet gets closer their doom seems more immenant.
More of the crew gets to use their skills to help solve a mystery and save the lives of the Daystar Crew, as well as the red skinned inhabitants of the planet they're on...

Escape from the Red Comet is the third book in the Daystar Voyages series by Gilbert Morris.

So far this book is most like an episode of the classic Star Trek series. The Daystar is on the run from an ionized comet that is threatening to shut down their computers and leave them dead in space.
In true peril of the week format, the closest planet they find contains a mystery. There are no adults to be found anywhere. Just clusters of starving children. What I think this was an episode of Star Trek.

Even though the characters are all in their teens this isn't really written for the YA set, these novels contain a simple writing style more for the middle grade crowd. On the plus side they are easy to read very quickly so you can boost that book count on you reading challenge. Or read aloud and share the joys of science fiction with a child in your life.

Gilbert Morris and Dan Meeks have written another awesome book that should be in any science-fiction fan's library! It is another book that is certain to keep you reading it from beginning to end.

The whole adventure starts out after Heck, one of the Daystar Space Rangers and expert in electronics, installs a new board that boosts their long-range sensor distance and they pick up the rogue comet. The captain decides to land the ship to protect the computers, and that's where the adventure takes off.

I won't spoil your reading of this great book by telling you any more, so if you want to find out what happens, find this book, buy if you have to, and read it! You won't regret choosing to read this one, especially if you read it as part of the series!

This was not the most exciting book in this series, but still an enjoyable read. From a musical perspective, the language of song greatly interested me and I consider it a great idea. I think the whole deal with the children being absent because of how the adults changed themselves into forms of energy was slightly odd and ominous, although I suppose if you were desperate enough...
