Description
Thirteen-year-old Kai Montgomery thought the biggest challenge he'd face would be his next martial arts tournament on the colony planet Kalifornia. That was until a cryptic alien crashed near his home, thrusting him into a fight far beyond his wildest daydreams. Armed with only his quick wit and a strange device handed to him by the dying alien, Kai finds himself drafted into the Galaxy Gladiators-a high-stakes interstellar melee where the price of defeat is death.
Trapped on a space station with no way back to Earth, Kai must adapt his martial arts prowess into mastery of a powerful mech suit to survive the brutal games. With the help of Celestia Xantherian, the alien tech genius, and Max Stratton, the human strategist, they form an unlikely alliance. Together they face fierce competitors like Zara Quillstar and the elusive Meriki 'The Shadow' Vexx, who may become allies or remain foes.
Under the guidance of Dr. Fionn O'Malley, Kai learns that the strange device could be his ticket home. But with Commander Throkk breathing down their necks, the newly dubbed "Stellar Cadets" must lay it all on the line. In a race against time, they must work together to overcome and outwit the commander's forces in a daring escape plan that will test their courage, strength, and friendship.
As the boundaries of loyalty and trust are pushed to the limits, Kai and his friends must ask themselves: What does it truly mean to be a gladiator? Join the Galaxy Gladiators, where every battle is a clash for survival and every victory brings them closer to home. Will they emerge as mere survivors or as heroes of the galaxy?

The cover is what drew me in because it had a great scifi feel to it. I was hooked from the first page of this book and so glad I got to read this. It had the scifi elements that I wanted and thought the characters were realistically written in this universe. C.M. Bilson writes a strong story and hope there is more in the Stellar Cadets universe.
If you like sci-fi and martial arts this is the book for you. It is the story of Kai who helps his Mother teach beginners in martial arts. He is sent to a space station in space where he trained to fight alien gladiators. After time Kai gets helpers to try to help them all escape. They are made up of humans and aliens and all have special talents. I believe it will hold the sci-fi person in your lifes interest and is action packed.
