JT, his sister and a group of other kids grow up on a ship headed towards the Rings of Orbis. Their parents are all dead and they have no idea what their future holds. When they arrive at the Rings of Orbis they find that things aren't at all the exciting future they were expecting. JT discovers he has a unique gift and the story shows us how this discovery leads to something nobody could have ever imagined.

JT is a kid with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He lost his parents before he was even born, and then found himself and his friends pretty much sold into slavery. He gets teased by other kids because he’s different and he suffers from self doubt. There’s something about JT that makes him special and unique but he doesn’t want to be that way, he just wants to be normal like everyone else so he sees it as a burden rather than a gift. JT starts to overcome his self doubt and uses his special abilities to make a real difference but not before making a big mistake.

I was really looking forward to reading “Betrayal on Orbis 2” after having read the first book in the” Softwire” series “Virus on Orbis 1”. I love anything to do with IT and I love science fiction. Science Fiction is a great way of escaping into another world where you don’t have to worry about what’s going on in the real one. These books have both and PJ Haarsma writes in such a way that I find once I pick it up, I can’t put it down. I’ve recommended Virus on Orbis 1 to a few people and they all seem to love it as much as I do.

Now I can’t wait for part 3!

Oh, and there's a great RPG game that goes along with this series at www.ringsoforbis.com that in addtion to being a lot of fun might inspire kids who don't read to get into the books.
