Publisher's Summary:
Aoleon and Gilbert are entrusted with a mission from PAX, a wanted criminal and leader of the Martian resistance movement. He wants them to investigate the Luminon of Mars, who he suspects is planning an invasion of Earth to steal its milk cows. Gilbert has an encounter with the Luminess (the mate of the Luminon) and discovers something strange about her. The undercover duo is chased by the Royal Paladin Guard.
At Aoleon's home, Gilbert meets Aoleon's sister Una, mother Phobos and father Deimos as well as her overzealous pet Zoot. He is also introduced to Bizwat, a covert operator, and Procyon Commando, who uses his Saturn Pizza delivery job as a cover.
Gilbert then gets to visit Aoleon's school, the Martian Space Academy, where he encounters Aoleon's nemesis, Charm Lepton, and her friend Quarkina. While there, he attends a history lecture on the Martian people by Plutarch Xenocrates. After class, Gilbert and Aoleon get to do some intense training in zero-G and Gilbert is treated to a Psi-ball match between Martian Space Academy and Martian Science Academy.
Join Gilbert and Aoleon in this exciting middle-grade science fiction book adventure!

five thumbs up!
This second book is even better! Gilbert had finally arrived in Mars, and his adventures began. He got to meet Luminess, the matriarch and leader of the City of Luminon, but somewhere along their meeting, Gilbert, in his mind, saw the Luminess transformed into a lizard. This piqued Aoleon's interest, making her determined to go on with the mission tasked to her by the fugitive resistance leader, Pax.
Then, Gilbert was finally introduced to Aoleon's family, and had experienced eating Galact Platter, the Mars version of pizza, topped with asteroids! How cool is that? My kids love pizza, too, so they now even love Aoleon more and more. And when they got to the Martian Space Academy where Aoleon studies, he learned of their history, culture, foreign students, and games like psi-ball match. And of course, a school isn't complete without the bullies; this time in the form of Charm Lepton and her minions, who found ways to irk and even sabotage Aoleon's skyboard. Not cool!
We really enjoyed reading this book and looking at the crisp illustrations. Brent LeVasseur is really a talented writer and artist! We can't wait to read what happens next with Aoleon and Gilbert as they continue with their mission in Book 3 - Hollow Moon.
Inventive, Amusing and Entertaining Middle Grade Space Adventure
The first Book in this series, (the series is now up to at least five books), is a little bit goofy around the edges, but it struck me as so well conceived, well written and well executed that it still caught and held my attention. After some reflection I was curious to see if the author could keep up the cheerfully inventive pace and appeal that was established in Book One, so I downloaded this second volume. I am happy to say that while there is still an engaging air of goofiness to the project, this second book is, if anything, even better than the first.
There are a few aspects of the book that in particular highlight the source of its appeal.
