Unlike a lot of my favorite science fiction, the aliens that Fonda Lee has created for Exo are very un-human-like, what with their mushroom-like bodies with six legs, six eyes, fins, and armor. Review: It has been a while since I’ve read any science fiction, and Exo reminded me of several of my favorite aspects of the genre: aliens, moral quandaries, and cool technology. Because if Sapience kills him, it could spark another intergalactic war. Left in the hands of terrorists who have more uses for him dead than alive, the fate of Earth rests on Donovan’s survival. But the Prime Liaison doesn’t negotiate with terrorists, not even for his own son. When Sapience realizes whose son Donovan is, they think they’ve found the ultimate bargaining chip. That is, until a routine patrol goes awry and Donovan’s abducted by the human revolutionary group Sapience, determined to end alien control. His dad holds the prestigious position of Prime Liaison in the collaborationist government, and Donovan’s high social standing along with his exocel (a remarkable alien technology fused to his body) guarantee him a bright future in the security forces. Some die-hard extremists still oppose alien rule on Earth, but Donovan Reyes isn’t one of them. Summary: It’s been a century of peace since Earth became a colony of an alien race with far reaches into the galaxy.
