I truly love a good sci fi, space book. Yep, Star Trek (and kindof Star Wars) nerd right here. And this did start out well. Children working as slaves on a mining planet. Some disappear every so often including the main character Daniel. But then he is returned, with his memory wiped. When he gets a chance he escapes the compound and eventually the planet and becomes part of the Truth Seekers. But there is a lot going on - good vs. evil, relics with great power, and a traitor in their midst.
I think the book had a lot of potential and I think as the series progresses it will probably be quite interesting. I felt I didn't get to know some of the characters well and it was a lost opportunity - especially the other "kids" on the Truth Seekers - not enough of their friendships developed. There were also 2 surprises near the end but I didn't feel invested enough in the 2 characters involved for it to really impact me.
