White Sands: An Orbs Prequel (Orbs Series 0.2)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This prequel gave a good background on the children and how they came to be at White Sands when everything happened. I would have liked to have gotten a little more on the parents before things went completely crazy. The narrative flows well and the story is good if a little light on some details. The language is great and the relationships ring true.
Jeff and David are traveling to White Sands with their step-mother Paula for Jeff’s birthday. Their father Michael is stationed there working for the NTC. When the aliens come and start to wreak havoc, life becomes terrifying for the boys and their father as they try to survive.
Definitely a must read if you want more on the people who populate the later novels.
