I liked this one. It was a fun little adventure book, and maybe my second favorite in the series. Plus I love the cover.

Fourth book of the series and I am eager to follow the Alpha and Omega crew to the next planet! Daring adventure and alien races waiting to be had. This book follows along with the plot of the previous books of each planet providing a new element for the teams to collect. The characters are relatable, and lessons of friendship and kindness are weaved into the story.

My least favorite, by far. Anna went to far and Dash was an ass and stupid. SMH at the stupidness and jerkness of Dash and Anna being more of a bitch. She's ruining the series for me. It sucks that the trials each planet has couldn't be enough without throwing in the other crew with horrible Anna.

Alpha team's rebounding after their first defeat to Team Omega in book 3, when they fail to get the element, Pollen Slither, on planet Aqua Gen.
Now they have to collect a thousand toxic pellets from Stingers, batlike creatures living on planet Infinity in underground caves. To do so, Chris tells them they'll have to avoid Sawtooth Land Eels and cooperate with the Jackals, but avoid becoming prize trophies in their collections.
Once on the planet, they learn the Jackals have abandoned their scientific outpost, leaving only one scientist and a former friend of Chris' behind. Team Omega has opted to avoid the Jackals altogether, which gets them into hot water, fast.
I won't spoil how Team Alpha collects the stinger pellets (it was really ingenious, good thinking, Gabriel!) nor how or why the other team fails. I kinda feared the book would fall into the "rise to the challenge of the week" rut .
Instead, there's another plot twist by Colin and Anna that involves an Alpha Team member that works well within the plot and it rounded out the story, giving it a bit more gravitas and stakes.
Enjoy!

compelling storyline...keep listening because i need to find out what happens next.
this one ended on a real cliff hanger, not a good place to pause. Good thing we just got the last two books on cd in.
