Science Fiction Series Aoleon The Martian Girl Part 4 Illegal Aliens (Part 4 of 5)

Aoléon and Gilbert have become the Luminon’s top priority in stopping the Martian resistance movement, and after being chased by the Royal Paladin Guard, they are forced to flee the Martian Megalopolis. Aoléon, Gilbert and Zoot escape with the help of Bizwat and his newly found friend, Helios, a first generation soldierbot.

After their saucer is destroyed, they crash land somewhere in the deep Martian desert, and they set out to locate Kyrios and the secret base where Aoléon’s parents are being held captive.

After battling the forces of nature, starvation, a Klyklon dust storm, (and not to mention a giant slor that almost swallows them alive), they finally make it to their destination. However, after Kyrios gives Gilbert some basic training to develop his budding psionic power, they learn that their journey is far from over.

Will Aoléon, Glbert, Bizwat, Helios, and Zoot be able to rescue Aoléon’s parents and stop the Martian invasion of Earth in time?

Characters:

The main characters, as always, include Aoleon and Gilbert, although some others such as Bizwat, Helios, and Aoleon's pet, Zoot, also play a much more important part. What was unique about the story is that they all work as a team to try to take down the enemies instead of only one person standing out. I admit that I liked the approach where teamwork was needed and appreciated. Aoleon is the beloved troublemaker, while Gilbert learns of a shocking discovery that is bound to change him forever. Bizwat is the resistance soldier and a pizza guy that helps out the heroes greatly. I don't recall too much about Helios aside from the fact he's a robot and that he has unusual phobias, and Zoot also helped the heroes out.

Theme:

Eventually beginnings must come again

Plot:

The story is in third person narrative, from Gilbert's and Aoleon's points of view, but other characters such as the president, the advisors and even the villains are also given brief voices within the story. The reader does need to have read previous installments in order to understand what's going on and why certain things are happening, so yes, it's not designed as a stand-alone novel, but it is short, adventurous and goes very well with previous installments.

Opinion:

Ooh, cows! Really reminds me of the time I knew someone in high school who had a theory on how the cows will end up taking over the whole world, (and yes, she'd tell you with a straight face... and yes, its a true story) but yeah, its not about the girl, but in fact its about the story. Just like the picture promises, there is comedy in term of the president and his advisors who want to destroy aliens and Aoleon and Gilbert attempting to save Mars and Earth and the cows from destruction as well as they will also begin the journey that was long delayed. Just like in previous installments, I enjoyed the pictures, although I felt that there weren't much in beginning, but the ending seemed to be saturated with them, so yes, once more, amazing graphics and combination of fantasy and reality within them that are designed to be breathtaking.
