I had really high expectations about this book. The main reason was that there is a lot of alien theories around us and it's hard to make up a new, fresh one. Altough, this book has the story I've already heard of it or imagine it, it was really good.I loved how the author told us at the very beginning of the book that all the facts are true. I love alien theories and most of them are absurd, but Lorien really seems like a planet that could exist.
I loved the relationship between Henri and John, it was like every parent-children relationship should be. John really acted as an alien. I don't mean that in a mean way, but if I would be an alien sent to Earth, I would act like him. He is nice and helpful and although this all is hard for him, he knows what he must do. I think he always acted right, no matter what the result was. At the very end I was really sad because of what happened to Henri. Still then, John acted like he should. There is no doubt if there would be an election for Lorien "king" that would be John's place to take.
The relationship he had with Sarah was also really nice written. I've got that feeling in the middle of the book that she is also from Lorien, but she doesn't know yet. My bets are on the theory that she came to Earth with that other spaceship. I hope she did, because it's true what Henri said - they will have to reproduce the race and I know John won't cheat on Sarah, although I've got a feeling he will be tempted.
I also loved Berney Kosar! I want that dog! :D
5/5 Stars
