Space Opera for Kids

Deathwing Over Veynaa is the second part of a tetralogy titled The Last Legionary. Keill Randorr is the sole survivor from the massacre of the protectors of the human worlds. The Warlord plans an interplanetary holocaust from the ashes of which he wants to emerge as the supreme power. Keill is artifially enhanced by super-scientists called the Overseers, and sent on mission after mission to thwart the Warlord's plans. This was the first example of action-packed space opera that I encountered. For an eleven-year old, this was stirring stuff. Bones replaced by organo-metallic alloy? Intergalactic villainy? Telepathic aliens with unpronounceable names? Elite warriors in a total war between black and white? Bring 'em on! Not much here for the discerning adult, but a decent read for an imaginative preteen.

definatly the best

In this series, this is definatly my favorite. It's more hard-hitting and plot-driven than the others without missing any charector development.
