A science fiction space adventure novel for boys and girls aged 9-12 (and the parents who love reading books to their late primary-school aged children!). By Writers of the Future winning author Patty Jansen.

Of all the things ten-year-old Cory Wilson expects to do when he moves to Midway Space Station, saving aliens from humans isn't one. An important conference is about to start at the station, not usually the sort of thing kids care about, not even when the conference is between humans and aliens, and half your family is alien. However, when bullies tease Cory, he ends up in a prohibited area where he overhears some men planning to plant a bomb at the conference. Because the terrorists hide their messages in computer games, no one believes Cory, not even his father, the station director. Kids at school think he’s crazy, some even think aliens should be bombed. The conference starts, the aliens have brought a very important person, and Cory's teacher, one of the terrorists, locks Cory in the classroom. Can he get out in time? If he does, will anyone listen?

5,0 su 5 stelle Intriguing

When I started reading I didn’t realize that this was the prequel to the Ambassador series. I knew it was for ages 9-12, and as I started I wondered why I’d bought it. But the characters and story drew me in. And then I recognized the name of one of the alien races. And I thought: oh, it’s a story in the same universe. Obviously I hadn’t paid attention to Cory’s last name. The story for even more engaging, and I thought, “wow, this is like Patty Jansen’s writing.” Duh. Finally I remembered that I’d swept up the prequel. And it was great. Fascinating to the end. It was a satisfying introduction to the the Ambassador novels that I’d already read. And, as my initial cluelessness demonstrates, it’s also a great stand-alone novel. I particularly liked the way Cory and his two friends met, gradually developed their friendship, and persisted in the face of grownups. It was also delightful to see Cory being Cory, with the personal qualities that tend to bring people together with trust in one another. I’m so glad I found this book and would love to read more stories set in this time of Cory’s life.

While obviously aimed at a younger audience, even as an adult I found this book to be excellent. The characters (even the aliens) are believable and the story hooks you from very early on. My only complaint is that the ending seems a bit sudden and I'd have liked to see a little more of the aftermath. I fully accept I'm not the target audience, though, and the ending may be just what younger readers want.

A quick but excellent sci-fi adventure. The Far Horizon may take place in the future at a space station, but it touches on themes of racism, acceptance, and doing the right thing in the face of great obstacles, all of which impact us directly here on Earth right now. I'd highly recommend this book, and am looking forward to future works by Patty Jensen.

It's a book you want to keep on reading, and then look for more works by the author. Young adult in tone, but, like any good YA book, quite enjoyable for an adult. Five stars.

This is a good, solid novel. Well worth the read. It's the story of early contact with aliens, and how the life of a 10 year old boy named Cory is changed by those encounters.

To me there has been something missing from Young Adult and Middle School science fiction for a while now. In recent years the legacy of the 1950's science fiction has been absent. The type of science fiction where we thought BIG about the future. Stories where we explored the universe with big science and big engineering, and where we thought about the big questions of Who We Are.

The Far Horizon, to me, seems to be part of that legacy. It's not big science a la Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars, but it is for the Middle School reader, so the details have been scaled down, although not dumbed down. Good science fiction reminds us, as this does, that too often science fiction seems to be written by people without a strong science background, and that's like fantasy novels being written by people who don't know their mythology or a baseball story written by someone who doesn't know their sports.

If this book is anything to go by, the author likes to pack a lot of themes into her books. Parental loss, difficulties with new family members, being a stranger in a strange land are all there, and that's only the first couple of chapters. Two of the main themes, the ones that drive the plot of the story are racism and hate. I found that these might be a little harsh for the intended age of the reader, although they lend themselves perfectly to the genre.

At times I found that Cory didn't react like a 10 year old boy, his high level of maturity stretched my belief that he was only 10. But that was only occasionally, far more common were the believable situations, for example, where he might become engrossed in what he was doing, just as any 10 year old would, and forget to go home after school.
