This book has to have been inspired by the Star Wars series. It has a lot of action and is weak on the science. Most of the battle scenes just seem to be made for the Star Wars kind of special effects and I can just see it being made into a movie very similar to Star Wars. It even has a forest people involved intimately in the plot that I think are Ewok analogs. Read it for the excitement, but don't read it for intellectual stimulation. It makes no pretense to be other than just entertainment, but at that it succeeds quite well.
