I'm not usually for Sci-fi, but this book kicks ---,
By A Customer
This review is from: But We Are Not of Earth (Hardcover)
With characters, that are unique, intrining, and you can relate to, a thrilling plot, and a imaginative and creative setting, But We are Not of Earth, by Jean Karl is the best book since Sci-fi hit big with Star Wars. When Rom, Waver, Gloust, and Bisty, known as The Terible Four, embark on a mission to the mysterious Sector 22 they find the beautiful plant Ariel. It is much like what primetive earth would, if they would ever be aloud to earth. When wierd sighting and strange appearences happen, that leave sRom and her group starting a very frightning and exciting adventure and one question that could determine their future who's the enemy?

Enjoyable YA sci fi tale,
By Evan the Dweezil (A Place-Sort Of, Montana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: But We Are Not of Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
Save for an ending that just felt too convenient, this was a good book. I liked that the characters were resourceful and didn't find themselves totally reliant on the adults in their lives to function. The descriptions and characterizations were fitting for the type of story without getting too caught up in the technical aspects of the ship and trip.

Quirky Science Fiction Novel About Growing Up,
By
This review is from: But We Are Not of Earth (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an odd and clever science fiction book I read and loved when I was young. I spent a long time trying to track down the title again as an adult. In the far future, a massive alien attack left humanity with a xenophobic attitude and (ironically) the ability to move spaceships psychically. The majority of humanity stayed at home and outlawed interstellar travel. A few left the Earth to help other races colonize planets. These humans all decided to live on uninhabitable planets, in underground cities. The young born there do not like this.
The book has a couple of clever twists which I can't talk about without giving minor spoilers. The future civilization has an elegant way of dealing with certain teenage problems.
