Well, Maenyl never wanted the job of Crown Prince; and I don't think will be too upset to lose it. LOL. He will take over from his mother as the Regent for many years and then Chancellor. This may even free him in some ways. He will still be the point person for dealing with the problems of the Earth; so that stress will remain. Very curious to whom the new person is; is it someone that maybe was a friend or acquaintance in the past from his school days or someone that he has meet since then that he has worked with??? Answers, immediate answers are needed.

Well, Russia and China worked together enough to attempt an unauthorized encampment on Mars; they can just share a Moon base that they are not having to pay for or build or do without one at all. Glad to see that the ESA will continue to be the gatekeepers with help from the URP. Isaac is continuing to take his job/role seriously.

And what fresh hell has the Security Council come up with now... Would have thought that the Ambassador from New Zeeland would have been smarter about heading to the residence in that manner, lucky he was not intercepted.
-
Have to wonder if this is their first trip to Mars; could a shuttle have slipped past security before and made a safe landing? Yes, you basically invade a sovereign entity, then demand that the invaders be given good treatment and returned poste haste. I would want to find out why they made this attempt and what prompted the timing.

And which of the rogue space agencies were stupid enough to land a vehicle on Mars when the planet was already claimed. I swear, the limits of hubris and stupidity exhibited by a large number of nations of the Earth is beyond measure.

Very nice addition to this saga. the writing was good and the pacing was the best overall in the series so far, at least for me. I do find some of the chapters abrupt, not just the length but because sometimes things occur and then you never find out the results. This does bother me; I know you can't explain everything. If you did, the books would be unfinishable because there would always be something to add; but major points that take up most of a chapter, should have a resolution. I did like how this book in the saga focused primarily on one character again. I think this gives the reader the ability to really feel they are getting to know that character and those around them better.

And just who was this rude person... Nice addition to this saga; and know there is more.
-
Would not trust anyone from the agencies that wanted to additional berths; come to think of it, would not have trusted them to start with...
-
Well, not everyone gets a Crown Prince for a tour guide...
-
For someone that truly dreams of being able to go to space; the prices, even the highest; are worth every penny it would cost and any sacrifice it would take to be able to afford.
-
Well, who is behind the kidnapping attempts; is it someone from Earth or from off planet? Answers, we need answers...
-
With the type of security that they would have; how would anyone have known where they were???
-
Okay, I want to know what happened to the gold; just call me mercenary? Hope that this school works for them all.
-
Some people take a little position with a little power; and try to use it to bully everyone that they can.
-
So many new sights and sound, taste and smells; the newness must be almost overwhelming. Can't wait to see how they adjust to the school.
-
Will this student prove to be worthy of the new job he has been given; or will be betray the trust given to him; only time will tell.
-
As anyone that has ever been to or been around a private school in the US or a public school in England knows that there are no secrets....
-
So Isnyl will become Isaac; let's hope he gets up to date quickly with his English, after all, bullies are everywhere in the English public school system. Glad to see that the family will be in a better shape after this encounter, and not have to work quite as hard. Although moving up a level and going to school will not be as easy as some would think.
-
Maenyl is fully recovered and ready to go back to his old life; or is he? Will he be ready to step into his position as Crown Prince or take some ore time to get ready for it; still don't understand why his family did not better prepare him.
-
Well, a picture was worth more than a thousand words; in this instance, it was worth a whole memory. Not sure how this will play out; Mason will have to go back but what about this budding romance?
-
Not sure running away solved anything; it just delayed the inevitable and may get the people that helped him in trouble. Would have thought security would have been tight enough that cameras would have shown where he got out and what happened. This chapter felt a little forced.
-
I don't think either Stephen or Jeremy would like Charley's no matter how good the wings are... The second it become us versus them; it never ends well. Nettleman is a racist piece of shit but it turns out that most of Parker's friends may turn out to be as well. Glad to see that Parker's mom is getting a better idea of what is actually going on. Hate that his dad may be losing a few patients; but as he is the only cardiologist in the town it is going to be them that have to inconvenienced moving forward.
-
Glad to see that Lucas got his posting back; that he lost it in the first place just never made any sense to me; felt more should have been explained at the time. The family is spending a lot of time on Earth, just allowing the kids to be exposed to the life there or what? This chapter seems to leave a lot of unanswered questions that need answers; hopefully the upcoming chapters will answer some of them.
-
Liked this book and the fact that it stayed focused on basically the work of Lucas throughout. The story was streamlined in a manner that I felt made it easier and more enjoyable to read. I did feel that chapters 8, 9, and 10 had a pacing issue and were a little choppy when reading; but it did not significantly impact my enjoyment of those chapters. I do hope we get some further look at the actual life in space; that said, I hope we also get to keep up with what Lucas is doing and how he adjust to being back basically as a resident of Earth. What happened with his family, did they come with him?
-
Really felt that this chapter was almost a vindication for Lucas in that what he was trying to accomplish was done so and he got a position that will at least allow a limited ability to travel back into space.
