Another Hit
Book 3 finished! This series so far has me sitting in the edge of my seat, turning pages faster and faster. So many emotions, suspense and surprises. Now, Book 4!

This story jumps right out of the gate and runs all the way through to the end. I couldn't put it down! The eternal plunder of our beautiful planet by us humans and it’s devastating consequences is put on debate by the advanced aliens, making it thought provoking and realistic.
True intentions are discovered, friends and foe revealed. It has been a riveting and captivating pleasure to read this series. A high adrenaline rush of a read, apt for all ages.

J'ai eu du mal à me lancer dans cette série, mais plus j'avance dans l'histoire, plus l'intrigue devient palpitante. Je viens de terminer le troisième livre de cette série et ai très hâte de poursuivre.

Ben Archer And The Moon Paradox is an fantastic, adventurous, unpredictable, magical, daring, amazing, jaw-dropping, and obsessed-worthy read! This is the third book in The Alien Skill Series which should be read sequentially. I adore this middle grade series which I would recommend to readers of any age! I was so thrilled to start this book after the last book's ending and I was not disappointed! With fantastic characters, wit, great pacing, sprinkles of humor, captivating mysteries, a unique voice, and amazing plot this book is a winner!
I don't want spoil anything from this book or the former books, but I will say this fantasy book answers old questions and new ones arise. Who is friend and who is foe is questioned. This kept me guessing and gasping! The Alien Skill Ben Archer has gained is further unlocked which was so exciting. I could not recommend this book more, but highly recommend starting with book one! I promise you won't want to put this series down!

Ben Archer’s third adventure finds him and his mother, Laura, arriving in Toronto, weary from their trek across Canada fleeing Bordock while searching for Mesmo. Following her late father’s advice, she seeks out the one person she knows, Robert Manfield, but even Ryan Archer’s counsel can’t shield them from Bordock’s limitless surveillance. His relentless pursuit wreaks havoc along its path, although Ben’s special abilities and unexpected allies provide some protection.
The extent of Bordock’s cruelty is amplified in Moon Paradox, as well as its origin and how it drives the shapeshifter. In turn, various individuals, both old and new, reveal their inner character through their reactions to him, as well as to Ben & Laura, which induces readers to turn pages even more compulsively as the tension grows and consequences mount.
Rae Knightley has crafted a superb conclusion to the Cosmic Fall, packed with emotional heft delivered by a young hero far more intuitive than his youth would predict.

Ben and his Mom have been through hell and back. They have endured more than should be humanly possible. But then again, are humans really human. Are we in fact decedents of an alien race? Read this book and find out the truth behind the rumors. This is a very entertaining and riveting series. As this is the first book in the series I have read, I need to go back and read the first two books. If you get the chance grab a copy of this book, it is definitely worth your time to read and enjoy.

In this third book of the series there is plenty of excitement as Mesmo is rescued and then captured again, and Agent Hao finally catches on to the true nature of his "colleague". Ben talks to a bee, travels in spirit, and goes for an inadvertent flight into space. The family drama is a bit annoying but blends into the main plot. The ending is nicely ominous.
It's something of a theme in science fiction that aliens tend to be over-rational and need to be taught by humans to put feelings first, and there's a suspicion of that here. It's always made me feel somewhat uneasy. Is the sentimental choice going to be the right one? Perhaps the story of Ben's father tells us that people will always revert to type, whatever their intentions. A lot of food for thought.

Audiobook: I enjoyed this third book as much as the first two. I was entertained as Ben's and Laura's journey led to the two of them staying with Bob M., who had secrets of his own. I applauded Ben's and Laura's search as they looked for a way to find out where Mesmo was being held captive. I was engrossed as the story moved from one action scene to the next. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I thought Andrew Dickson's narration was great, and his performance was entertaining. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

This is the third book in the Alien skills series it's about a young boy along with his grandfather and four other people witnessed and Alien spacecraft crash .
This was a good read I liked the characters the plot was pretty good very suspenseful a lot of action . I can't say that I truly liked Ben's mother I don't know the relationship between her and Mesmo seemed to forced for my liking . But all in all this was a good story I'm assuming that this may not be the end of Ben's story of the ending is any indication there's more to come .

This story in the Alien Skills series is as great as the first two! The story will keep you engrossed from the very beginning, no matter what age you are. I felt like I was part of it all, living the story, and then the book ended. Now I will be waiting for the story to continue, so I can live in Ben Archers world some more.

An action-packed and moving third installment in the Ben Archer series. Ben escapes to the city of Toronto, where learns an earth-shattering secret about his past, and begins to use his newly acquired powers to protect those he loves. A thrilling story that answers many of the questions we were confronted with in the first two outings. A great read!

I'm hooked on Ben Archer. Every page turning event had me on the edge of my seat wanting more. The reveals are monumental. Ms.Knightly finds the human in this sci-fi adventure. I'm hooked. Roll on the release dates for books 4-6.
May 27, 2019
I can safely recommend all of the books in the series. I’m very happy to say that there will be a fourth book in the series. I have become so invested in the character’s lives that I would just hate it If the series ends.

Well now, things are definitely getting interesting now! I loved the family reunion that filled most of this book, and how it wasn't a happily ever after one. I also loved how this book was action around every corner. There wasn't a moment to breathe, and that really added to the intensity of the story. The situation Ben and Mesmo were in. The ending was great, too, as that just leads into an entirely new adventure that our characters are about to fall into.

I so did not expect what happened in this book! Wow! One thing after another! I don't want to give anything away, so I am just going to say I hope the series continues and this isn't the end. I can see a whole new adventure for Ben and Mesmo. LOVE MESMO!

Buckle-up Readers!
Very emotional and exciting book. There was a twist and a surprise at every corner. I am very pleased with the ending and the possible new adventures Mesmo and Ben will go on together; they are my favorite characters. I can't wait for the next book.
