After the years since refugees from Earth land on Vesta, they've made inroads into building up their communities and working with the new planet despite a lack of contact from Earth. They don't know if they'll survive, but the question of whether or not they will is determined more by the members of the community itself.

When some of the children begin to develop special powers, the elders of the communities have different reactions, and it's up to Nikki, Corban, and Thane to find out what their plans are, and how to save everyone if they can.

Enjoyable read with a good mix of young adult issues, romance, and alien homeworlds!

Looking forward to book 2!

This is the perfect ending to the trilogy.

We are left in the second book with Shima doing something absolutely rash and dangerous. We pick up this book from Blaze's POV and see Shima's mistake through his eyes. Intense. Captain Danae Shepherd now has her hands full and what with two gentlemen vying for her affections, the woman is a mess. Danae has much to undertake and her emotions don't need to get in her way. What I love about Danae is her fire. She is a strong woman, prone to eruptions, but I love that Walker has finally given her some romance.

The novel is filled with tension--some close calls for a few characters. There are many characters that I love. Poor Ting. He is going through a lot. Erik is the ever capable doctor. Blaze brings the southern, Christian charm. The novel is full of diverse characters, which helps us appreciate other cultures. And Walker drives her point across about the slave trade in a way that doesn't make it seem preachy but rather carefully crafted into her novel.

Walker works some creative aspects in with her POV's, seeing events unfold through another who you would not expect to be the POV character. It only heightened the tension. I was gasping and sweating.

Walker finished the novel up, nicely concluding the trilogy in a way you won't be disappointed, cause can I tell you? There are a few surprises at the end.

A clean, easy read. Suitable for all audiences.

The Orphan Ship is a heart felt book. Walker does a great job at interweaving all the characters together and making you interested in their lives. It is easy to read with not a lot of unnecessary description. You get how the characters are feeling by their interactions together. The future world is not too spacey or silly rather it feels realistic with references to our time now. It is well written and engaging. Great original concept. I love how she also weaved elements of different cultures and religions into the novel. Some suspenseful moments and there is enough left for you to wanting more in the next novel.… (mais)
