Lost in Space #2
Lost in Space: Infinity's Edge
The second thrilling, original novel based on Netflix's smash hit Lost in Space! This all-new story focuses on twelve-year-old Will Robinson and his closest friend and greatest protector--a mysterious Robot with a dangerous past.
The Robinsons--Will, his two teenage sisters, and their parents--are members of a colonist group who had been traveling across the galaxy to establish a new home, only to have had their ship attached and stranded on an alien planet. Just when they had finally managed to get off-world, the Robinsons were thrown off course yet again and were sent drifting toward an unknown location.
Now, six months later, the Robinsons are stuck on an inhospitable water planet with no contact from their fellow colonists or from Will's beloved Robot. The twelve-year-old doesn't have any friends in his new home, until he discovers a mysterious girl...from the future. Her name is Clare, and she desperately needs Will's help to save her family. Will is eager to bond with his new friend, but--little does he know--something sinister lurks just beneath her surface. Can Will find a way to help Clare while keeping his own family safe?

This is a book that is based on the Netflix series. They are quick reads as they are aimed more towards children. That being said they are enjoyable for adults. In this one, we are stranded on that planet which we saw in the second season. Will finds a friend. The problem is that the Robinsons are suppose to be the only ones on this planet. Who is this strange girl?
This is a quick read and it is a fun time. I did enjoy the first book of this series a little more. The author has definitely watched the show as he nails the characters and the atmosphere. One could easily get a sense of Will and how he misses the Robot. I thought the first half of the book was just okay. It kept on reminding myself of another work but for the life of me I cannot recall which one. The second half finally went in a different direction and that is when my enjoyment picked up. I loved the finale and the role one character particularly played.
Like I said this was a quick read and fun. If you are a fan of the show I think you will have a great time with the two books of this series. If you are not a fan I am not so sure. All I know is that I have not watched season three yet but these books have made me realize that I have to do that sooner than later.

a big feeling broke like a wave in me, and i balled my fists and wanted to scream. why did things have to end? why did friends have to leave you? why couldn’t the good things keep going on, being good, the way they always were right before you realized how good they were? right before you understood that they couldn’t last.…

My daughter read a few chapters then insisted I read to where she is so we can talk about the book. So this book is a little more special to me because I got to share the experience with my eldest <3
Anyways this book was a nice break from what's going on in the world right now and I feel like the author stepped up his writing from the last lost in space, now I am looking forward to his next books.
This one is focused on Will and what he is going through, then he finds a friend, well he thinks. This was just a fun book that was fast-paced and full of fun and adventure with some interesting twist.
There isn't really anything mind-blowingly different from other science fiction books but there was certainly a fresh perspective and nothing was 'that' obvious.
I 1000% recommend this to anyone that is missing the show, it definitely helped me deal with lack fo new LIS episodes.

This was a super fun read. Mr. Emerson does a good job of keeping the characters in line with the canon of the TV show. The story line is well thought out, complex, and yet easy to read and follow. The pace is fast but there are no holes in the plot. Its well thought out, well written and just a fun story. I would highly recommend both of Mr. Emerson's, 'Lost in Space', movie-tie in books. They are also kid friendly with no foul language or inappropriate situations.

I am kind of obsessed with this book. Lost in Space is my favourite TV show and I am a huge fan of the Robinson family. Will has a special place in my heart because he goes through so much emotionally and mentally. I feel so bad for him. This book was not kind to him but I loved reading about his family and exploring this world (which I did see in the TV show). It was such a fun, easy read that I got through in about half an hour. I highly recommend to people who are a fan of the show.

It was the kind of book that you can't put down. I ended up reading late into the night and finishing it because around every corner there was a new twist! Kind of a thriller, sci-fi twist that I thought worked out perfectly! I loved the first book, but this one blew me away. I highly highly suggest reading it!

This was so good! It was so much better than the first one imho, the stakes were much higher and I really felt for the new character Clare!! despite not being particularly scary this was super high suspense, 10/10 pacing. overall, a really good time!

This LiS time-travel yarn takes place while the Robinsons are stranded on the water planet (during season 2 in the Netflix series). Will manages to not focus on scratching an odd patch of fungus or something growing on his neck and suits up to go beach combing. A high tide reveals a new sand berm and when Will explores it, a girl appears!
Thirteen-year-old Clare is traveling via hologram / avatar through an anomaly in the space-time continuum as her family flees the explosion of a star in their spaceship. She's actually alive a thousand years before the Robinsons' mission and Earth's surface is polluted to the point of no-return.
Will's lonely for a friend, which Clare seems to be, and there's no harm in being friends with someone who's been long-dead, is there? And she and her spaceship's AI, Alina, need Will's help to save her "family."
Except…all is not as Will thinks it is.
Penny's there to watch her lil' bro's back, even though he doesn't ask nor want her to, so when the acid liquid sea threatens to swallow the fort he builds with "help" from Clare, Penny's there to save his rear-end. And videotape him hugging… the empty air.
Big sis Judy injects him with something to help with the rash that's rapidly spreading on his skin, and again, without his family looking out for him, Will and all the Robinsons would be toast.
I won't reveal the twist, just know the dead can be very dangerous in this awesome space opera tale! Enjoy.

Enjoyed this more than the first, which in liked too. It was very reminiscent of Red Dwarf I thought in places. Fab concept and loved all the characters were more involved, even including Dr Smith and Don, unlike the first one and kept identical to the TV show.
