kareilaThis installment focuses on the secretive Alkalinians, another alien race whose invitation to use their planet for Earth Force training seems decidedly suspicious to our young heroes. There is a creepy sequence where Jasper and his friends gradually realize the aliens are drugging them for nefarious purposes, and it's up to them to save everyone from a surprise Youli attack. The story ends with a cliffhanger, separating Jasper and Mira from the other members of Earth Force and leaving them in need of rescue.
The other focus of the book is Jasper's sister, Addy, who is old enough to begin Earth Force training. She is just as determined as Jasper to find out what is really happening, but her introduction to the team causes friction when she and Marco find themselves immediately attracted to each other. Meanwhile Jasper is increasingly aware of his developing feelings for Mira, although he's endearingly clueless when it comes to acting on them.
