Críticas

"Fast, frightful, and fantastic--a faery story like no other."--Dan Abnett, writer of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic for Marvel

"Jonathan Maberry is one of those rare writers who shows that he is comfortable in just about any genre, cranking out pulse pounding tales of Horror, Science Fiction, Action and Adventure. The Nightsiders will terrify, thrill and delight with the frantic turn of every page."--Thomas E. Sniegoski, New York Times Bestselling author of The Fallen series and Bone: Stupid, Stupid Rat Tails

"Nightsiders is a smart, action-packed adventure, perfect for anyone who has ever wanted to fight alongside magical monsters against alien invaders. And really, who hasn't wanted to do that? I've never read anything like it, but I want more!"--Kendare Blake, author of Anna Dressed in Blood

"Jonathan Maberry is a master of fast, scary, and awesome. The Orphan Army will submerge you in its world, and you won't want to come up for air."--Adam Gidwitz, bestselling author of the Tale Dark and Grimm series and The Empire Strikes Back: So You Want To Be A Jedi?

"The secret to becoming a hero is hidden between the pages of this unforgettable adventure."--Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Beautiful Creatures

"Move over, Percy Jackson. Using breakneck pacing and relentless action sequences, Jonathan Maberry has crafted a captivating and heady mix of science fiction and fantasy as eleven-year-old Milo fights the Bugs, aliens bent on exterminating humanity, and also discovers that magic and the supernatural still exist. Short chapters alternating with longer, exquisitely choreographed fight scenes will keep reluctant readers turning the pages. More mature middle-graders will appreciate quieter character moments that lend depth, richness, and real emotion to this story. Older teens and adults will appreciate references to sci-fi staples, from E.T. to Falling Skies. With nods to literary greats--Joseph Conrad and Tolkien get their due--nearly every reader will find something to enjoy here. The Orphan Army is dark, deft, and daring . . . I loved it."--Ilsa J. Bick, best-selling author of The Ashes Trilogy and The Dark Passages Trilogy

"The Nightsiders is an earthshaking adventure brimming with non-stop action and crawling with creepy insectoid villains. It's impossible not to root for Milo Silk and his mysterious allies, a new generation of mythic creatures from the earth's misty past, as they battle the voracious swarm. There's plenty of magic, too: shape-shifting and illusions, sure, but also the powerful spells cast by friendship, bravery, and heroism."--Michael Northrop, New York Times bestselling author of the Tombquest series

"Hold on tight to this book because Jonathan Maberry's Nightsiders: The Orphan Army will take you on a breathtaking sci-fi adventure that's loaded with mystery, mayhem and imagination. There's a surprise on every page and full throttle action from beginning to end. Best of all, this first volume is only the beginning!"--D.J. MacHale, New York Times bestselling author of Pendragon and The SYLO Chronicles

"You could use a lot of adjectives to describe Jonathan Maberry's The Orphan Army. 'Exciting, ' 'surprising, ' 'funny, ' 'touching, 'and 'creepy' all come to mind. But only one word sums up this barrier-breaking, multi-faceted book in its entirety: 'fantastic.'"--Steve Hockensmith, author of Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Danger Lab and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls

"Nightsiders is a thrilling mashup of sci-fi, adventure, and supernatural fantasy with a heart. In The Orphan Army, the action-packed first chapter of the saga, Maberry introduces us to a twilight world of magic and mayhem where nothing less than the survival of mankind is at stake and the most powerful weapon against a nightmare is a dream. Maberry is a master."--Tonya Hurley, New York Times bestselling author of the ghostgirl series and The Blessed trilogy.

Reseña del editor

Milo’s Louisiana bayou is overrun with alien bug invaders and magical creatures in this start to a breathtaking series from bestselling author Jonathan Maberry.

In a world filled with Bugs—monsters that ceaselessly ravage the Earth—Milo Silk has a hard time keeping his dreams separate from reality. So he keeps them locked up in his dream journal and hopes they’ll never come to pass. But too often, they do—like when his father disappeared three years ago. Lately, the Witch of the World has been haunting his dreams, saying he is destined to be the hero who saves everyone. But all Milo can think about is how he fears the Bugs will attack his own camp, and bring something even more terrible than ever before.

What Milo doesn’t know is that the Earth is already fighting back with its own natural power in the form of Nightsiders, magical creatures who prefer shadows to sunlight and who reside in trees, caves, and rivers. And the Nightsiders are ready to find an ally in Milo...
