Joshua wakes up sans clothing in another world. A world where he is alone, untested, afraid, and with no visible way back home. The Sweepers want him. They are a race of genetically altered creatures who eat any living thing. That includes each other if one is wounded. His lone friend and rescuer is an alien-esque like girl about his age. Her name is Nadia. She is a warrior who's been through a great deal. Joshua and Nadia share some common goals, and are soon embroiled in a common fight. To add to that there is a prophecy that they are to fulfill, unless they die trying! While meeting strange new allies Joshua starts to be concerned abut the dreams that he is having. Dreams that make him feel connected to the Sweepers who are trying to kill him, which doesn't make any sense to him. What other strange races and changes will Joshua encounter in this world, and does he still even really want to go back home now?Now that I have given you a bit of the book review, I'm going to add my thoughts as I tend to do. I got really tired of Nadia's constant Ra this and Ra that. For an "advanced" race she is woefully backwards in worshiping a planet. I DID appreciate the one scene in the decaying building with the statue that Nadia didn't understand. It gave me hope that in the next books there could be a bit less backwardness in this area. The ending was exactly what I had expected from the time that Joshua was informed of the prophesy and what lay ahead for him and Nadia, however, I still have many unanswered questions that probably will urge me on to the next two books in this series.
