Book Review-Enemies Rising-Part 1-Paul Stretton-Stephens

While in the midst of reading this very interesting YA novel (it is also for adults IMO) about a fictional place--I stopped for a while and noticed this headline on my email Government Report Finds Drastic Impact of Climate Change on U.S.. Uh--a lot of what happens in this fictional book is actually happening now!!

Of course we only have land based people--in the book there are also Cetardians who live under the ocean. There world is changing--seas are rising which is and will disrupt their way of life. Meanwhile--Upside--things are also happening. Water is overtaking the land and people are beginning to feel the changes.

The Cetardians decide to try and find out more and try to connect to the Upside people who are also trying to do something about it. The adventures are varied and will keep your attention. Of course the book is open ended which makes it almost imperative that you go and get Enemies Rising Part 2!!


About the Book: (from Amazon)

This is the first title (Part 1) of the action-packed Tacrem Adventure Series.

Fifteen-year-old Tacrem becomes acutely aware that all the hours of play fighting, language lessons, physical training, and strategy games during his undersea upbringing were designed to prepare him to carry out dangerous missions for the sake of Cetardia, also known as the Downside. His exceptional abilities: he can run, swim, and jump faster and higher than any Upsider (the Cetardian name for people living on the land) are required to confront threats from two fronts. Firstly, some Upsiders are intent on discovering and exploiting Cetardia for their gain, and secondly, the ocean’s rising tides threaten to distance Cetardia farther from the mainland. To survive Tacrem undertakes a rare and daring mission to make contact with a discredited Upside climatologist, Professor Jack Berry to gain and deliver vital information. During the process, Tacrem befriends Jack and his daughter Jess who becomes the focus of an enemy of Cetardia, The Fligers. The question is: Will Tacrem be able to obtain and deliver the information needed to save his world and can he protect his new friends Jack and Jess?
Discover how Tacrem tackles his mission in this action packed adventure.
