Book Review : Domination

I love when authors dedicate their time to writing books that will encourage young adults and make them think about their God given purpose in life!

Domination is #3 in the C.H.A.O.S trilogy.  My oldest was able to review book #2 before this one and was pretty excited to jump back into the story and review this one!

{Check out his review for book #2 HERE}

In my son’s words :

This book is a lot like the second book, there is a lot of action and fighting, the characters are the same, and the same threat exists.

The Thule are a race of aliens that have destroyed all the planets surrounding their home planet and they come here to take over Earth to have control of our resources.  Colt and his friends are involved with a Special Operations Team known as CHAOS.

 

In this story Colt is the hero.  He was injected with Alien blood in the past and has undergone a change that has given him unique talents and abilities.  Colt goes on a mission to the Thule home-planet to attempt to destroy their power plants.  He is faced with concern regarding his leadership abilities and responsibilities, as the leader of the mission, and he fears he will not be successful.

I really like Colt’s character because he handles situations with a level head when he must react quickly.  He treats everyone with honor and respect no matter who they.   While Colt is still dealing with the loss of his parents, he tries to keep from hating the Thule; he is not trying to seek revenge he is simply trying to protect his home.

I can identify with Colt and what he is facing because he deals with many of the same doubts and concerns I do, and a young man.  I enjoyed watching him face his doubts and overcome his fears in this story.


I know J enjoyed the book, he read it in about a day and a half – which he did the same with book #2 – I think one afternoon.  This seems to be a series that draws everyone right in and keeps their attention.  I would recommend this book for an fans of fast paced action books, and it is safe for young adults too!!


Domination is book #3 in the C.H.A.O.S trilogy. Please note that certain plot points and characters might be a continuation from the prior books in the series.

Their goal is simple: total domination.

With six arms and jaws that can snap a man in two, the warmongering race of aliens known as the Thule has conquered every planet they’ve attacked.

And now their invasion of Earth has begun.

Humanity’s only hope springs from a mysterious Thule legend about a Betrayer, who they believe will rise up and destroy their people. The American government tried to manufacture their own Betrayer by injecting children with Thule blood but time after time the experiment failed . . . until Colt McAlister.

A decade later, Colt is a 16-year-old cadet at the CHAOS Military Academy where he’s training to defend mankind. But he’s afraid that the alien blood may be turning him into a Thule—and he’s beginning to suspect that fulfilling his role as the Betrayer may cost him everything.

Experience a cosmic battle filled with high-tech gear, gateways to other planets, and ultimate stakes. Not everyone will survive. But heroes will rise up and step into their destiny in this earth-shaking conclusion to the C.H.A.O.S trilogy.
