Reviews

This book leaves off where Book 1 ends. John has just landed on Ship World, with Cap and Nappy, and he immediately meets up with Ik, another humanoid type being. Ik is following Li-Jared, another humanoid being, hoping to catch up with him. Along the way, they discover that Ship World is being threatened by a being called the boojum and that it is up to them to save the ship.

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Shelfari and Goodreads. This book was full of rich details of the ship and its worlds. I felt that towards the end of the book and the battle with the boojum was a little anticlimactic.

Would I reccomend this book to family and friends. Absolutely. It was an easy read and was without the technical jargon that most sci-fi books contain.
