The Disasters is a truly refreshing story. It's a space adventure, a story about unlikely friendships and saving the world. The main characters have all washed out of the elite space academy at Ellis Station. They're all on their way home, about to board a shuttle back to Earth when disaster strikes. They escape and become the only witnesses to the act of terrorism on the station. And now the four washouts are on the lam from very dangerous people.
All of the characters are vibrant and different from the usual young adult heroes. The story is narrated by Pakastani-American, Nax, who grew up on a farm in Iowa (echoes of Captain Kirk?). The action starts right away as Nax meets his fellow washouts and then they are all working together to escape from the terrorists. I really came to like Nax and enjoyed his story arc throughout the book.
The book is written for teens, but adults will also enjoy this excellent and fun adventure story.
