From School Library Journal Grade 5-8?In this fourth novel in the series， BKR， the cruelest being in the universe， has stolen Rod Allbright's body to get to his mind. In it is the formula for a bomb that will "destroy Time itself， freezing everyone in the universe in a state of total despair." But unknown to BKR， Rod's father has placed the contents of his son's brain into the body of Seymour， a no-mouthed， one-eyed， six-legged blue alien. The Galactic Patrol decides it must separate to pursue BKR and keep Seymour/Rod safe. When Rod's mother and twin siblings are kidnapped， a confrontation ensues with good triumphing over evil and Rod's body and mind reunited. But BKR has not been vanquished， leaving room for a sequel. Through Katherine Coville's detailed pencil drawings， readers are able to visualize many of the author's exotic creatures. Another light science-fiction adventure.?Debbie Feulner， Northwest Middle School， Greensboro， Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Booklist In the fourth installment of the Alien Adventures series， Rod Allbright is in two places at once: his body is being held in suspended animation by the evil BKR， and his brain is residing in Seymour， an alien with six legs， one eyeball， and no mouth. While his father tries to get his body back， Rod travels with Madame Pong， Snout， and his cousin Elspeth to a planet full of danger from fellow travelers as well as trees that make you weep until you decompose. By the story's end， Rod has learned to master fear and comes to some conclusions about his personal code for living. Coville smoothly blends the gross (one character's pet noseworm) with the thrilling， and the funny with the thought provoking， creating an entertaining sf adventure. The many characters and references to plots developed in the previous books make this too complicated to stand alone， but it is a must for libraries with the other books in the series. The story comes to a highly satisfying conclusion and also wraps up a lot of loose ends. Susan Dove Lempke --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
