<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When Jos's parents are killed in an attack on their trading ship, the boy is kidnapped by his attackers and then escapes--only to fall into the alien hands of humanity's greatest enemies. As he grows into a young man, Jos is brain-washed into becoming a spy against the human race. At every step, his choices are made for him--until the climactic moment when he takes his life into his own hands.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Karin Lowachee's debut novel is the engrossing story of a young boy's coming of age amid interstellar war, a riveting saga in the tradition of Orson Scott Card's <i>Ender's Game.</i></b> <p/> The merchant ship Mukudori encompasses the whole of eight-year-old Jos's world, until a notorious pirate destroys the ship, slaughters the adults, and enslaves the children. Thus begins a desperate odyssey of terror and escape that takes Jos beyond known space to the home of the strits, Earth's alien enemies. <p/> To survive, the boy must become a living weapon and a master spy. But no training will protect Jos in a war where every hope might be a deadly lie, and every friendship might hide a lethal betrayal. And all the while he will face the most grueling trial of his life... becoming his own man.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Warchild</i> is a remarkable and powerful first novel.
