Goodreads Synopsis:
It’s one kid versus an entire band of space pirates in this cosmic middle grade caper from New York Times bestselling author Dan Wells.
Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage. With everyone he knows fast asleep, it’s up to Zero to think fast and find a way to stop them–all on his own.
Review:
Zero G was a short listen read by a full cast. It is around Chapter 6, and about 40 minutes in that Zero's pod malfunctions and the fun begins. Zero realizes that he is all alone awake on the ship and for a little while he has fun eating a bunch of foods, and painting etc. The things get real when space pirates try to take over the ship.
The was a great story and the full cast in this one did a great job, I think I liked this one better than some of the others because there was still a narrator as well as the cast. It took about half of the book to get to the drama of the pirates but since the book is only a few hours long it felt balanced. The book is a great middle grade science fiction, it was well paced and there was enough excitement to keep me listening. I think this is a fun one and would recommend it to those that enjoy middle grade reads, science fiction, or those just looking for something short to listen to.
