Many, many heartfelt thanks to PC Darkcliff for this wonderful review! 

"The book kicks off with a diabolical scheming and political games of the bad guys and the strengthening friendship of the young heroes, which perfectly sets the mood. I was glad to see the alien characters return on the scene; although they are from a different planet, they seem very human—much more than the bad guys anyway! As the young heroes set out on their daring rescue missions, the tension keeps building. There are traps, enemies, and moments that make you worry they’ll never make it. But their courage and loyalty drive them forward! The Survivors is another gripping chapter in the series. I can’t wait to see what happens next!"
