SuitabookSpace Attack
Eileen Buckholtz, Ruth Glick
- Reading
- If you read together, try the story first and then explore a programme or its manual instructions, pausing to see whether the practical tasks add to the adventure.
- Themes
- Defending the station: Orion is tasked with protecting a space station from an alien attack; a quoted excerpt describes the job as defending the cause of good against evil. The setup gives the adventure a clear opposition between defender and enemy, but the story’s treatment of that opposition is not known.
- Computer-based challenges: The reader is invited to decode alien messages, enter an enemy security system and play a laser-attack game using computer programmes. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The premise includes an alien attack, enemy security and a described deadly laser game. The level of detail or intensity in the actual scenes is unclear.
