Review: Alien Minds

Alien Minds by Christina Bauer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Meimi wakes up in a hospital with many of her memories missing.  She is told she has been in an accident and that she lives an ideal life inside the dome.  Even though she doesn’t remember much about her past, she does know she is being lied to … especially about her guard, Thorne.  He looks familiar and she can’t shake the feeling that she isn’t being told everything.  Meimi can’t remember her name, but she still has all her high-tech science skills.  Now that is fishy.  Why is the government demanding that she help build a tool that will annihilate anyone who isn’t perfect?  What will Meimi and Thorne accomplish in this newest catastrophe?

Alien Minds is the first book in the Dimension Drift series … or is it.  Technically it is the third book, but the first two books were shorter novellas that could be considered prequels.  Although this book is listed in Goodreads as the first book, I am glad that I read the prequels first because it gave me more insight into these characters and let me enjoy the current story without trying to figure out what I was missing.  This adventure is fun and serious at the same time.  Bauer has developed a world within a world and the characters are as dynamic as the story.  The next book, Echo Academy, was just released and readers will probably want to read all four books in short order.
