Good continuation

I am enjoying this series. The idea of being able to connect with a computer through mind power alone is fascinating. ( )

Betrayal on Orbis 2 is the kind of outer space adventure that I loved in middle school. With non-stop excitement, rich world building, and lots of cool aliens and technology, this is a great book for science fiction fans and reluctant readers.

This is the second book in a series, definitely read after you read the first book. Fortunately it was available as an ebook because I had to download this book late at night, right after finishing the first one. This takes the group of kids who arrived at Orbis 1 to the second year on Orbis 2. Each ring is different world with its own unique inhabitants and challenges. I will read the next two books this summer.

Once again, Haarsma gives us a unique entry into the young adult field with a true science fiction story. The second in the series, this book has a tighter plot than the first and continues to be wildly imaginative, though character development hasn't really progressed. As with the first book, my major gripe is with the dialogue, which is choppy and awkward. I find it hard to like the hero of the story, especially when he does some stupid things like he does here, and I think that some of the reactions from the childen in the book are hard to believe. Compared to all the young adult books I've been reading lately, this one seems to be targeted a bit more "young," and while I'd recommend this book for younger readers, it's not as compelling for adult readers as many other YA series are.
