Orphan's Journey

Science Fiction: This is the third book of Jason Wander or Orphanage series. The book starts out with Jason screwing up in Tibet. To fix his screw up with the government, he is sent to New Moon to talk his god son into fly the slugs Firewitch. He succeeds in this. Which leads to the ship taking off to another planet far from earth. On the planet Bren, Jason has to bring together three tribes of humans to defeat the slugs on that planet. I enjoyed this book. It is an interesting look at how humans could have expanded into the universe.

"Orphan's Journey" by Robert Buettner
I think the series has run its' coarse.
There are just to many things taken from other stories, books and authors.
Plus the charactors are static not growing or maturing at all (you would think there would be some change in the 20 years these books cover so far)

I don't want to make this a spoiler so lets just say the book is "John Carter of Mars" meets "Stargate" with overtones of Heinlein. I'm not saying it's a bad book, it's well written the story is tight and well paced. Just not my cup of tea.
I don't think I'll be reading the fourth book.

A little more naivete on the part of my species, but I really enjoyed where Buettner takes the story. I liked this book much better than the 2nd, but not more than the 1st. The story in this was a little more slow to develop, but it was another solid entry. I'm looking forward to finishing the next two books.
