From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8–This final installment in the series picks up where The Revolt (S & S, 2005) left off. Corgan, 16, genetically engineered to participate in a bloodless virtual war, has stolen the zero-gravity spacecraft Prometheus from Flor-DC, a domed city in Florida for survivors of nuclear contamination. His companions, Ananda, 15, and Cyborg and Sharla, both 16, each have special traits that help Corgan make the right choices. Brigand, Corgan's murdering nemesis and Cyborg's clone-twin, can channel his brother's thoughts so he is aware of everything that Corgan is planning to do, including returning to Flor-DC with The Locker, a machine that can freeze a person's age forever. Brigand wants the machine because without it, he ages two years every month. The climax, a virtual battle between Corgan and Brigand in which the winner gets to choose the fate of the loser, is waged through thought-controlled avatars. Readers will enjoy the video-gamelike quality of the final combat. This is a well-written adventure in which the technical details are deftly woven into the fast-paced plot.–Ann Robinson, Moultonborough Academy Library, NH
