Fans of Anthony Horowitz, Eoin Colfer and Doctor Who will simply love this sensational story. The first instalment in {what I predict will be} an epic series, introduces readers to Martin King's extraordinarily wondrous world. Many teens will dream of having superpowers and fighting against evil to `save the world' {whether that be as the central hero or alongside others like in Sarah Jane's gang}. This thrilling trilogy pushes the boundaries by expanding upon preconceptions, with refreshing originality and exciting concepts!!Martin & his friends sweep you off on an action-packed adventure into the unknown. Their mission is to save Earth from a deadly evil force known as XO5. What might seem upon the surface to be a simplistic storyline is unexpectedly deceptive, for there is more than meets the eye to this dangerous foe - - and to Martin himself. Intensely gripping, nail-bitingly suspenseful and dramatic this debut novel sets the scene for one of the most captivating YA science fiction stories I have read in a long time.I am incredibly impressed by this outstanding novel.Sat on the edge of my seat throughout I was lost within an out-of-this-world, majestic masterpiece that combines reality & alternate perceptions with vision and great premise. The cast of colourful characters are highly memorable; each with their own individualistic traits and personalities that compliment and contrast one another harmoniously. Reminiscent of Ron, Harry and Hermione this group of friends show such spirit and strength in the face of adversity that's such an admirable quality.I cannot wait to continue Martin king's journey!![...] - for more info.* I won a copy of Martin King and the space angels by James McGovern through a Goodreads, first-read giveaway *
