Interesting sci-fi novel. I must say, however, that I had a hard time getting past the fact that the characters were supposed to be children from 6 to 12 years old. I just couldn't see children acting or talking the way they did in this novel (given I have an 8 and 11 year old). The characters were better suited to be 19-25 year olds. Anyway, if you can get past that, then the story was pretty good sci-fi although it reminded me alot of other stories or movies I have seen. The buggers reminded me of the aliens in Starship Troopers by Heinlein (a much better novel). And Mazer Rackham? wasn't he Yoda in Star Wars?
