[Following is the official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Blue Star" by John W. Holt.]
This review is of the book Blue Star by John W. Holt. It is sci/fi.
The books journey begins by learning of the characteristics of five aliens and how they are planning on entering Earth. You are told the similarities and differences of the aliens to the humans. You learn how the aliens will assimilate to life on Earth. The book really goes into details about how the aliens will transform themselves before arriving at Earth. Such as how one of the aliens was a surgeon and how she was to make the other aliens look more human like. The alien Arnon comes out as a main character in the story.
The story then fast forwards three years. You are introduced to the character Henry Lucas. You learn a little about Henry's life history and how awful it has been for him that he lost his father. Also, how Henry works at a grocery store and has not gone on to college. He is stuck in a stand still because his family lost their father and he hasn't been able to move on. He also feels a responsibility to his mom siblings and grandma. He seems like a shy person who does not have much of a social life at the moment. he seems like he regrets that he was never able to go off to college and get a job like he and his father had talked about.
Next, Shadix is brought into the story. He is an FBI agent. He is looking into cyber attacks. The aliens company has attracted Shadix's interest in his investigation.
Henry is driving home from work and he sees someone broke down on the side of the highway. He sees it is a woman and her name is Agnes Brody. She proceeds to tell Henry her story. She told him that he would never believe her, however she told him anyways. How she worked for a man and came to find out he was an alien. She tells him she is on her way to try and stop him from getting a signal out to his planet. She is very convincing to Henry.
All the characters end up in the same place for the end of the story.
I thought this was a fast easy read. I enjoyed it and thought it was an interesting read. I thought it was cool that the character Henry finds himself getting on with his life after having been involved in something so huge.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars.
