It's one kid versus an entire band of space pirates in this cosmic middle grade caper from New York Times bestselling author Dan Wells.
Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they'll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage. With everyone he knows fast asleep, it's up to Zero to think fast and find a way to stop them–all on his own.
My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I love Dan Wells' writing, but I'm not much of a middle grade reader. But this book was so short, and I need to read more audiobooks, that I decided to try it, and I had such a great time!
Zero has such a thrilling adventure with this book, that his pod is the only one that wakes up-and it turns out that space pirates are trying to hijack it. I loved watching Zero be creative, facing off all these adults, and minimal help from the A.I., since they have a computer hacker that shut it down. It was so engaging to read!
This was basically a graphic audio, where the sounds of what was happening, we got to hear, which was interesting, but almost not really my thing, because it's a bit distracting, and I would have to think about what was actually happening instead of being told.
When I was reading this book, I thought that it was a stand alone, and it was only when I went to make this review that I saw that it was the start of the series. So knowing that, I really hope that Zero gets appreciated for what he did, espcailly by his older brother! Because he accomplished a lot!

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to continue on!
