Review: Ashfall Prophecy

Ashfall Prophecy by Pittacus Lore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Syd knows he is different.  He was raised by his human mother and doesn’t really remember his alien father.  It turns out that Syd’s father died on the planet Ashfall protecting a secret about humans and Denzans.  Syd is now faced with an impossible choice.  He can free humans from the limitations of Earth or he can destroy Earth itself to keep humans from attacking other species … again.  Syd knows that he has been prophesied a world-killer, but can he choose his own path?  Was his father’s death in vain?

Ashfall Prophecy is the second book in the Ashfall series.  The book’s introduction tells readers that this is a duology, but after finishing this book I believe Lore can write more in this sci-fi universe if he chooses.  This novel is full of space travel, aliens, adventure and personal conflict, so many reader types will enjoy this book.  The overall feel is similar to Lore’s other novels and I found myself wondering if the worlds were crossing, but readers do NOT need to have read the other series to enjoy this one.
