Testa, Dom. The Comet’s Curse. New York City: Tom Doherty Associates, 2005. 224 pages. (Sci-Fi)The human race is in trouble… a deadly particle from a comet’s tail is threatening everyone’s life who is over the age of 18. As one final act, they come together to build a space ship… This space ship is different than any other ever built. It will travel for five years to a distant planet called Eos holding 251 teenagers, none over the age of 16. Although some people are seriously against this project, the takeoff goes smoothly. Everything is perfect: the teens, the ship, the emotions… Everything except one. There is an adult aboard the ship, who is threatening their lives, their crops, their ship… And he is insane. Desperately the teens try to defeat the intruder, for they are the Human Race’s last hope.
This book is remarkable! It has an intricately weaved plot, it is suspenseful, and the truth is shocking! I really liked the characters and how different they each are. This is one of those books that I could almost see a movie in my head of what was happening in the book. There are so many things to find out, that it’s hard to put the book down. The next book in this series is called The Web of Titan. In my opinion this book is worth five stars!
