REVIEWS
The young adult science fiction audience will go for William Manchee’s
Tarizon: The Liberator, the first book in his new trilogy. It reminds me of
the Star Wars series, Among the Hidden (Margaret Peterson Haddix),
Dancing With An Alien (Mary Logue), and Ender’s Shadow (Orson Scott
Card).
This book has everything a sci-fi fan could want: an alien world, mutants,
conflict and civil war, spaceships, super-technology and chapters full of
action! There is even romance for young Peter.
The reader is pulled into the story, learning along with Peter the
language, customs, food, technology and warfare practices of this alien
culture. The vivid descriptions of the planet will feel as if readers are
there assisting the earthling as he struggles with doing what he believes
is morally right. There is a message here, which is oft repeated, a
message of tolerance and hope. SIBA Galley Call by Reeden Wright
". . . a gripping page-turner with a unique plot, fascinating characters and
an electrifying ending." H. J. Ralles, popular young adult author of the
Darok and Keeper Series.
“ . . . readers will enjoy this action-packed exciting thriller . . . William
Manchee has created a fascinating world in trouble that anchors this
exhilarating powerful morality tale. Harriet Klausner, Americas most
influential reviewer, Time Magazine
“. . . Characters are fresh, exciting, filled with vivacity. Dialog is fitting,
often gritty, hard hitting potent. Storyline is attention-grabbing, engaging
and out of the ordinary. Settings are nicely detailed, reader is drawn into
the action, and interest is compelling from beginning to end. Plot twists,
subterfuge, stratagem, and chicanery abound, heroes are heroic, and
villains are down right vicious.” Molly Martin, Midwest Book Reviews
