After his mishap with Lyle Ogilvy, Will West is confused; the more he found out about the Paladin Prophecy and the Knights of Charlemagne the less he understood. He and his roommates had figured out that they were all test-tube babies, and the scientists performing the operations altered their genetics to give them different powers and abilities. Then at the end of their sophomore year of high school at the Center, the five roommates are once again plunged into the mystery of how the Knights of Charlemagne, the Center, the Paladin Prophecy, and Will’s father fit into the puzzle. They are sent on a quest a mile underground, where the teens figure out the truth about the horrible genetic mutations occurring. All along, Will, Elise, Ajay, Brooke, and Nick discover more about their own abilities and their past.
In many series, the first book is the best; but I liked Alliance more than the Paladin Prophecy. I was submerged in the world of Will West, living out his story as if it were my own. I felt what he was feeling, pictured what he was seeing. At times, my pulse started racing, as if I was stuck in the cavern a mile underground, attempting to escape while fighting off demons. I was not just a reader, I became part of the story. When I finished I had to stand up, shake my head, and tell myself, “Will West does not actually exist.” There is no evil scientist out there to mutilate the next generation. While reading this book, I was convinced that somewhere in the middle of nowhere, everything Frost described was happening. Or perhaps it was just wishful thinking that maybe there was a group of superhuman teenagers protecting mankind.
