The Doom Machine
A
Novel by Mark Teague
Reviewed
by Logan A. W.
The
Doom Machine is a very good book, with a lot of effort put in by the author
Mark Teague. It definitely has the things that every Sci-Fi--fantasy book needs:
a fast plot and a good story line. The
book does have a lot of characters, making it hard to follow along, and it also
switches from character to character without telling who the new character is.
When
young scientist Isadora Shumway comes to Vern Hollow after her mother’s car
breaks down, she stays with Jack Creedle and his mother. But when aliens arrive at Vern Hollow, Jack’s
uncle, Bud, has a plan to get out of town before the aliens get them. On the
way Bud sneaks in his secret invention, a fridge, The Doom Machine, that
unlocks the power space-time. These spidery aliens capture the “ooman bings” king
to try to figure out how the machine works. But while they are focussing on the
machine Jack and Isadora sneak of and take on a journey of their own.
The
Doom Machine is truly amazing, and does show its colors. The book is good
for scifi-fantasy lovers. This book is rated for grades 3/4-7/8. The Doom
Machine is at the King County Library, Tacoma Library and Amazon.
