As time runs out, it's all up to Oliver and his Federation training to fly the Phoenix and protect his crew. But twins Mason and Austin endanger the mission when they unexpectedly meet...the blue boy! The Quest for Truth series unfolds as the four Wikk kids are thrust into a desperate race to find the mysterious planet Ursprung and stop the übel renegades from misusing its long-lost secrets.

I love sci-fi. The opportunity to explore new worlds, to be taken on an exciting adventure where anything is possible.

And this book does not disappoint.

The characters are interesting and real and the story compelling.

It’s also refreshing to find a book that you would have no problem with any of your children listening to. The morals are good and clear and you’re left in no doubt as to right and wrong.

What was apparent very early on was the Christian influence. I didn’t know anything about the author when I started listening, but hints of the Bible were almost immediately apparent.

One thing I particularly loved about this book is that the author didn’t feel in any rush to leave a particular setting. Some stories, in an attempt to keep up the pace, take you from planet to planet, danger to danger. Eastman, though, manages to keep pace whilst also giving time for the characters (and reader) to explore the new worlds he is describing. And this I found immensely satisfying.

I would recommend this book to anyone, but particularly to those aged 7+

Full disclosure - I was given this audio book free by the author to review, but am under no obligation to write a favourable review. I just happened to like it!

A great family story full of adventure leaving you wanting more...

This book was a bit tricky to get into to start with due to the narrators inflections and accent. But the story soon took grip and I was hooked to the end. Can’t wait to listen to the next one

Good book
