- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was an action-packed science fiction story. A young boy wakes up with no memory on a planet he has never seen. How he arrived is a mystery. He is taken in by a slightly older boy named Parker and his android guardian Mina. A memory chip in his head says his name is Chase Garrety but is otherwise so damaged that nothing can be gleaned from it. Parker's guardian is Asa Kaplan - a shadowy figure who Parker has never met.Shortly after Chase arrives the planet is destroyed which leaves the boys fleeing for their lives. On the way to a nearby planet they rescue a young man from space. They learn that he is Maurus, an officer in the Fleet even though he is a Lyolian, who is being blamed for the destruction of the planet. Together and separately, they are on the run from the Fleet and other criminals who are trying to capture them.The story is one long chase scene. Along with not knowing who he can trust, Chase has to deal with the fact the he has no memory of his past and he is developing strange new powers. It is Chase's lack of self-awareness that caused most of my problems with this book. I couldn't connect with him because I just didn't know enough about him. I didn't have much more luck connecting with Parker. Being raised by an android without much other contact, I expected him to be socially awkward. But I didn't expect him to be a liar, a thief, self-absorbed and tactless. Fans of action and science fiction who don't feel a need to connect with the characters but can be carried along by the action will enjoy this one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A boy wakes in a room he's never seen before. In fact, he has no memory of anything... not even his name. It's only after the man tending to him finds a chip embedded under the boy's skin that his identity, or at least his name, is discovered: Chase Garrety. Armed with his name and little else, Chase sets out to unravel the mystery of how he ended up on the planet Trucon, wounded and without his memory. He teams up with Parker, the boy who found him unconscious and in mortal danger of the monsters that plague Trucon. Parker talks Chase into "borrowing" a spaceship that belongs to Parker's mysterious benefactor, in the process, giving the slip to his cyborg nanny/bodyguard. What starts as a joyride soon morphs into danger when Trucon is destroyed in a fiery explosion and the boys unwittingly rescue the man accused of coordinating the attack. As secrets are revealed and Chase is driven by the faintly remembered phrase, "Guide the star," the boys are no longer sure who to trust. Met by danger at every turn, Chase and Parker struggle to stay one step ahead of those who seek them, including the government, the mob, the accused terrorist, and even Parker's guardian.Nonstop action and an absorbing premise make THE LOST PLANET a thrilling MG debut from Rachel Searles. These characteristics, paired with fast pacing, also make this title a great pick for reluctant readers who prefer to jump right into the action or don't have the patience for a long introduction. The well-placed, surprising twists within THE LOST PLANET will keep readers engaged as they struggle with Chase to unravel his past and determine which forces within the novel seek to save or destroy him.
