Look through your ideas, maybe even some that you'd left out will come in useful later in the story. The author note at the beginning mentioned that the aliens are known as Videshi, as India become the ruling power. This idea would be really interesting, but this is never elaborated on, we never find out how they rose and ruled. It came across more than the author came across a cool word and wanted to use it, which feels a little rude at best.CINEMATIC PARALLELS (+1) - This bonus section is a clear sign that I've read this book too many times.

There are four splittable stars, the brightest of which is another double – though this one is too tight to resolve in amateur instruments.Lily’s life is in mortal peril. Her father is missing and now silver-eyed men stalk her through the shadows. What could they want from her? I absolutely loved spending time in outer space reading Orion Lost; not a given for me as I tend to avoid books set in the future. In the story, a number of families are heading into space to a far galaxy and a new life and the plotline seems to suggest that the excitement is all to come, with the reality of life on a planet so different from Earth bound to present challenges. To reach their new home requires their ship to 'jump' time zones and each time the ship jumps all families follow the protocol of going into artificial sleep. Beth, one of the children on board, wakes up from one such jump to find that apart from 4 other children, all the grown ups are still asleep and that she, on the basis of having achieved 0.5 marks more in her leadership class than the son of the ship's captain, is in charge of getting the ship to its destination. A fast paced, engaging science fiction adventure. When Beth and a small group of other children suddenly find themselves in charge of Orion, a giant space ship, after a mysterious incident, floating in space is the least of their worries. As the colony ship travels further into space, a mysterious event puts all the adults on board - passengers and crew – into a coma. The ship is crippled, suspended in deep space.

Alastair is a children's author and puzzle creator. As a puzzle creator he wrote quite a lot of books of Sudoku and other puzzles for kids and grown-ups, and as an author he writes picture books and middle-grade fiction.

Full of twists and turns, this thrilling futuristic journey into the unknown will have readers on the edge of their seats. A space trip to a new colony should have gone OK…. but then things happen and it is up to a group of teens to get their parents and other adults safe. Warning: This is the first book. There is a sort of received wisdom in children’s publishing that science fiction can be a bit of a tough sell – that there isn’t as much of a market for it as there is for other genres; that it’s too niche. If you subject this idea to any sort of scrutiny it doesn’t really make an enormous amount of sense: why shouldn’t sci fi sell, given its enormous successes in other areas of our culture like film and television? Why does it face such a different fate to, for instance, fantasy – a perennially popular (and hugely competitive) genre of children’s fiction? I suspect, to be honest, that it has become a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.Join Hal and Uncle Nat as they plunge straight into an exciting mystery – this time while on Safari!
