The last humans' hope

                It was the last day before alien-Drej destoryed Earth. Everybody was on a lot of huge rockets, ready to save their life, but Cale -5 years old- didn't want to leave, because his father left him and just gave him a ring.

                15 years later, human survivors scattered the galaxy, and Cale still hated his father. Until one day, he met new friends who told him there was a hope for human race. He realized that the ring which his father gave him- was a map to find the Titan, an advanced technology spaceship, which could bring human race to their home. He did his journey with Akima, a female human pilot, Korso, and 3 other aliens, Preed, Stith, and Gune.

                But their goal wouldn't be so easy, because the Queen of the Drej, Susquehana wanted the Titan eagerly as Cale and Akima did. But, finally Cale and Akima got the ship first and there was a battle between them and the Drej, which victory was human's. So, they made a new planet for human race's home with the Titan. And Cale realized that his father was not a bad guy, he just tried to save his son from dangers.

                The weakness of this novel is, it lacks of description that makes the readers difficult to imagine how do the aliens look like. And, there are some of alien word that I think, only the writer who understand it. The strength of this novel is its plot. The writer tells the story chronologically and makes the readers understand the sequences effortless.

                The moral value of this novel is, there's a will, there's a way. I recommend this novel to anyone who like adventure and science-fiction story.
