Book details
Return To Lan Darr (Heroes of Distant Planets Book 2)
Description
Surviving Lan Darr not only changed Allan's life, it rocked him to his core. On Earth, he's simply a boy in a wheelchair who got lost in the woods, but across the Hubbu connected planetary system, Allan is a hero. He must find a way back there, alone if need be. Returning to Lan Darr might just kill him. Though he's learned the hard way that Allan Westerfield does not die easily. Back on Earth, Allan's uncle and his best friend race after Allan without an inkling of how deadly Hubbu travel can be. Chaos ensues, spawning disorder, confusion and panic as the travelers end up on different worlds at different times and face extreme ecosystems, mysterious enemies and push the clock of death to the absolute breaking point. The second book of the Heroes of Distant Planet Series cranks up the excitement, the mystery and even the humor. A perfect and inspiring story for 12 and up. Reviews: "lots of surprises in this book, ones that I didn't see coming, and others that helped bring the story together. Beyond the shock, the adventure, and treks across the galaxy, there's a budding romance that I found to be one of the best I've ever read." Valicity Garris's review "excellent and exciting story. Unpredictable! A page-turner! I'd recommended the book not only for YA fans, but also everyone those who loves to read some extremely different kind of story" Dilsh Wijesinghe (She's a professional Reader and top reviewer from NetGalley) "In an intelligent and intriguing new installment in the Heroes of Distant Planets series, Return to Lan Darr by Anderson Atlas is a book that readers will have a hard time putting down after they start reading." Reviewed by Tracy A. Fischer for Readers' Favorite "The adventures continue and now under his own power! Atlas's plot is exciting and fast- paced, and the new places and beings Allan encounters are marvelous indeed. After reading the first book in the series, I expected great things of Return to Lan Darr, and somehow Atlas exceeded my expectations on all fronts. Return to Lan Darr: Heroes of Distant Planets, Book 2 is most highly recommended." Reviewed by Jack Magnus "The author, Anderson Atlas, has taken care to weave in many lessons of bravery, ability, and graciousness, as well as courage to face adversity and overcome seemingly impossible obstacles" Reviewed by Deepak Menon
