Fleeing the threat of civil war on her home world and a planetary genocide game played by an ancient and evil race, Princess Grace and her small band of refugees seek sanctuary on distant Earth. But their peaceful existence is shattered when one of her own betrays them. With Earth hanging in the balance, an unlikely hero comes forward to challenge the impossible odds.Young Adult meets Military Sci-Fi - Verified Amazon UK CustomerThis story is a rich, warm YA story, underpinned by a complex, well-realized Military SF with intricate politics and thrilling battles.The two sides, Verceti and Trun are embroiled in a centuries-long war. Both have come to a grinding stalemate, but an unseen third force starts to tip the balance of power in the Trun's favour.In order to preserve their leadership, the Verceti mount a counterattack as a distraction covering them from fleeing. This includes the young princess, Grace. She lands on Earth where her training continues, picking up some native allies on the way.What I really enjoyed was the true villains, the Zerot. In military SF, often reasons are given for the conflict which just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. In this, it is all a game to them, which they bet on, which makes more sense than most reasons.The YA side did concern me as it's not my usual fair, however, the sheer warmth this side shows was compelling in itself, especially when juxtaposed with what you know is coming.A note, as this is a self-published book - the editing is excellent. (In fact, it is edited by the legendary Ellen Campbell, who provides a stamp of quality in her involvement)So, in conclusion - 5 stars for a brilliant first book.Compelling and Beautiful - Verified UK Amazon CustomerI read this book whilst on holiday in Spain. I was looking forward to a relaxing poolside read but instead was suddenly transported to planets many light years away with evil (no... really evil) beings and to places quite close (only a few hundred miles away). Mr Lambert certainly has an imagination with a twist.There are some lovely characters that you can visualize - helped by the wonderful book cover artwork. The first book is grounded on earth (not to give the story away) and I think that this helps the reader flow into the second book (which is also brilliant). The story is compelling and beautiful and I am looking forward to book 3.An Interview with the AuthorQ. What makes the Zerot Infestation Series special?A. It's a mixture of things, really. It is the book I've always wanted to read. The villains behave in the same manner as the Japanese Giant Hornets (now they are nasty pieces of work). I wanted to create a unique story, which I believe this series is. You won't see "If you like so and so, you'll love this" because there is nothing else like this.My hero in the first chapter of Book 1 thinks "And what could she, a ten-year-old girl do anyway? Leave the war to the adults. "Unfortunately, as she grows up, she finds herself dragged into the forefront of the war and an unseen, colossal galactic confrontation.But the best thing this series portrays is my vivid imagination - so I've been told.Q. The series targets Teens & Young Adults.A. Yes and no. I was never impressed with bad language, graphical sex or violence in books, so the series is written with Teens & Young Adults in mind, with a feel-good factor. But this isn't just for kids. The Zerot, and especially Birjjikk, are despicable and their exploitations aren't shied away from.

Even the scientists have tried and failed to conquer the Cancris. And she's just an ordinary, clueless kid in middle school, with ADD no less. The harder she tries to think, the more her brain shuts down. She's the opposite of what humankind needs right now. What a cruel, cosmic joke. But no one's laughing. And now, all eyes are on her.Spanning three decades and unfathomable distances in outer space, Crystal Child: The Diamond Star Saga, is more than a thrilling sci-fi ride.
