So far the best Prodigy Tie-In. Only Dal is a bit annoying - but that's completely in character.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Confinement and Gun violence

The last of the three Prodigy middle-grade novels. Where the first two were set roughly during the break between the first and second half of the first season, this one is set during the gang's shuttle trip to Earth. In need of a spare part for the shuttle, they find a mysterious moon that may have the part they need…if they're all allowed to leave.
As with the rest, it's another fun, quick adventure. To my (50-year-old) eyes, when reading all three back-to-back, it suffered a bit from having so many similarities to the first book, also by the same author: a search for a missing part leads the crew to a mysterious location where they get captured and have to figure out how to escape with the part they need. But for the age range these books are actually aimed at, the similarities might not be as noticeable.

This was a really good Star Trek themed book geared towards younger middle grade aged readers. Escape Route is book 3 in The Star Trek: Prodigy series and I really liked it! I went into reading this not knowing much about Star Trek, but that didn’t seem to matter when it came to being able to enjoy this chapter book. This book was very well written and young science fiction fans are sure to love this one! I might have to look into the other books in this fun series.
