Set at an experimental community on Mars in the year 2039-2040, Robot Wars features 14-year-old virtual reality specialist Tyce Sanders. Life on the Red Planet is not always easy, but it is definitely exciting. As Tyce explores his strange surroundings, he finds that the mysteries of the planet point to his greatest discovery--a new relationship with God. He talks about his growing faith and curiosity in a manner that kids can relate to as they are probably wondering some of the same things. Book four, "Counterattack, " opens with Tyce and some of the Mars Project's staff captured in a prison; they end up in prison while carrying out a special mission on Earth. Tyce has to figure out a way to fulfill their mission and rescue kids--all before a world war breaks out.
I've been reading the series with my 11yo. He liked the earlier ones, but it's gotten more scary than he likes. But we cannot stop, because he has to know how the story arc ends.
A really good series that's sci-fi, christian, and for young adults. I like how the characters use science to prove their is a God. But, I think the writing is too simple for the age group it is meant for. Also, the government issues in the book are fine for the age group the books are writen for but would be lost on a younger age group who wouldn't have the trouble of the simple writing. All in all, it is a good series.
