Interdimensional Explorers: Alien Apocalypse - Lorraine Gregory

 

We're back with Danny, Modge and Inaaya for their second adventure, and this time a star has been stolen from the vaults in their lost property office which could result in danger for the entire universe.  It's down to our intrepid trio to save the day.

I loved Interdimensional Explorers when I read it last year (you can read my review here) so I was thrilled to be able to head back to catch-up with Danny, Modge and his cousin Inaaya.  After their discoveries and adventures in book 1, the book begins with Danny's grandfather determined to enjoy the sudden offer of a cruise holiday, which means that Danny, Modge and Inaaya will, once again, be in charge of the IDLPO, with Danny oficially being made his grandfather's apprentice.  Danny is thrilled but Mrs Arbunkle (their supervisor) is concerned that they won't be able to cope with the upcoming Returns Day and offers them some support.  Then, when the star is stolen from their office, everything rests on the trios' heads.  

I absolutely adore the mix of science-fiction, adventure and humour that is woven into this book.  Lorraine manages the balance perfectly and creates the most magical adventure that you simply can't put down.  Having got to know Danny and co in book one, it is great to get to know more about them in Alien Apocalypse.  The book is pure escapism and the creativity Lorraine brings is a joy to read.  Combine that with Jo Lindley's art work and I promise you are in for a real treat.  The book publishes on the 14th March and I sincerely hope there will be a book 3 to follow.
