Customer Reviews

Excellent early reading sci-fi adventure.

I read this book in the 5th grade and fell in love with it. I still think of it often. It started me in the Sci-Fi genre that still endures today. Get it for yourself or your kid, or both!!!

My personal Gateway Drug

This book ruled. This was the first science-fiction book I ever bought, and I'm sorry to see it's out of print. When I bought it the first time, it was already older than me. Summary: Unwitingly abondoned by his parents, Mykl is stranded on a hostile planet, from which escape sems impossible. More in depth summary: Well, he's on this planet, which is a planet that gets mined off of all the time. Y'see, his parents are space miners, and this planet's a gold mine, but the only problem is that there's these things that eat metal here and, you guessed it, they haven't invented plastic space ships yet. So in thier hurry to leave, they accidentally leave Mykl there. And this dwarf girl who was a hired hand. And there they hang out at this cool dome thing with a robot named Ego. A badical book. Not much now for me, but I think it's badical because of sentimentality. Get it for the kid in your life. You'll be glad you did.
