World Killer: An explosive Young Adult sci-fi adventure by Barry J. HutchisonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Daryl was a normal sort of boy, not overly popular or special in any way that would make him stand out except for a brief time ten years ago when he was national news. As a youngster Daryl had gone missing, his father accused of his murder until Daryl casually walked back home from the park and perplexed that weeks had gone by but to him just a few hours.
Now along with two others he finds himself pursued by a mysterious paramilitary organisation embedded it seems deep with various governments, things would look bad except for one or two things, a spaceship, an alien and a mission. Granted the mission is to prevent the total destruction of humanity as the "world killer" along with his homeworld Skalgorth is on its way and the odds are not good but there is an adventure to be had and wonders to behold for these three young humans.
World Killer by Barry Hutchison is a novel aimed at the young adult market but entertained this much older reader who is familiar with the humour of Barry as seen in his Space Team novels and I would certainly recommend it to a younger reader who was looking for a scifi themed novel with a good dose of humour, action and characters that at their core are easily identified with.
