The Orphan Army (The Nightsiders), by Jonathan Maberry From School Library Journal Gr 5–8—Milo Silk is not a hero. This mantra of Milo's, repeated throughout much of this series opener, couldn't be further from the truth. In a slightly futuristic world, where ruthless insectlike monsters are exterminating humans and the Earth itself, Milo discovers secrets that change the tides of war in a serious way. The Nightsiders are a group of mystical beasts leading the fight to defend Earth and its inhabitants from the maleficent Bugs, led by the fantastic Evangelyne Winter. This story is told with all of the skill that Maberry brought to his "Rot & Ruin" series (S. & S.). Readers will instantly take to Milo, as well as Evangelyne and the other Nightsiders. The story flows well, and though it ends with a cliff-hanger, it is satisfying. Underlying themes center on conservation and bravery. VERDICT A must-have for fans of Maberry's previous books and middle grade sci-fi.—Chad Lane, Easton Elementary, Wye Mills, MD
Review “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)"Fast, frightful, and fantastic--a faery story like no other." (Dan Abnett, writer of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic for Marvel)"Maberry's prowess in fiction as well as comic books is evident in his well-crafted story, which balances over-the-top battle scenes with the quiet moments between characters that give substance to what could be a heartless thriller. This first book in an explosive new series is the perfect mix of science fiction and magic." (Kirkus, starred review)"This story is told with all of the skill that Maberry brought to his “Rot & Ruin” series...A must-have for fans of Maberry’s previous books and middle grade sci-fi." (School Library Journal)"Maberry skillfully blends postapocalyptic warfare with supernatural adventure, presenting memorable characters and a tense narrative...a strong start to what looks to be a highly entertaining story line." (Publishers Weekly)"In this fast-paced, compelling blend of old-school sci-fi, magic, environmental themes, and hero’s quest, Maberry introduces an everyday, likable protagonist who develops courage, confidence, and skills in a good-versus-evil battle...this Nightsiders series launcher will draw fantasy and sci-fi fans, who’ll anticipate the sequel." (Booklist)"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)"A sequel can’t come too soon for readers who will be eager to see what this unlikely team can accomplish." (BCCB)“It’s one thing to battle an invading army of high tech aliens, but it’s something quite different to do so in the swamps of Louisiana where the extraterrestrial bugs are not the strangest things in the woods. A tale of friendship, trust, and heroism, The Orphan Army is an electrifying thriller that builds to a climax as gripping as it is thoughtful and satisfying.” (A.J. Hartley, New York Times bestselling author of Darwen Arkwright and Steeplejack.)“Jonathan Maberry is a magician, a writer of great talent and versatility. From spooky fun to cinematic action to heartfelt character, he can do it all, and he does it with a sense of joy and enthusiasm that few writers can match!” (Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Snowblind and The Cemetery Girl)“The Nightsiders is heart-pounding action and a well-paced thriller from one of the masters of sci-fi and fantasy!” (Melissa De La Cruz, #1 bestselling author of The Isle of the Lost: A Descendants Novel)“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)“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 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.)“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 Orphan Army makes me wish I was a kid again, settling down with this book and being taken off on a wild adventure.” (Charlie Higson, bestselling author of The Enemy Series and The Young Bond Series)“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)“From the opening lines The Orphan Army grabs you and doesn’t let you go! Once again, Jonathan Maberry has created a stunning world of real people in extraordinary circumstances.” (Neal Shusterman, New York Times best-selling author of the Unwind Dystology)“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)

Amazing book for the Middle School Set By Xina143 Jonathan Maberry is one of my favorite authors (his Pine Deep trilogy and Joe Ledger series are must reads as far as I am concerned!). In fact, my oldest son (21) is a fan of his, as is my 16 year old (he also writes Young Adult novels-Rot and Ruin Series), so when I saw this new series aimed at the Middle school set I jumped at the chance to introduce my 11 year old to such a fun and engaging writer.I will admit when the book came my 11 year old was a bit concerned at the size of the book-it clocks in at almost 400 pages-a daunting task for an active 11 year old, but he was game after he read the description of the book:Milo Silk has a hard time separating his dreams from reality, and this is why he keeps them locked away in his dream journal. He prays that his dreams never come true, but sadly they often do-like his father disappearing years ago. Recently, the Witch of the World has invaded his dreams and keeps telling him he is going to be a hero and save the world. Milo is scared until he discovers the Nightsiders-magical shadow creatures waging their own war on the Bugs that have invaded earth.My Son's take on this fantastical new book:"It was awesome! I love adventure books and it was just like you're in a game because of the big bugs and the other monsters. It was cool that it was dreams and reality with the witch of the world.So, good job and cant wait for part 2!"That's immensely high praise from an active young boy who'd rather be out playing basketball. The biggest clue that this was a winner for him was the fact that he didn't fight me when I told him it was time to do his daily reading. (He is supposed to read for at least 20 minutes a day, per his school requirement)I think Mr. Maberry has another fan in our house!
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Looking forward to book two By ocmd My nine-year-old granddaughter is a big fan of long epic tales of fantasy, paranormal creatures, and all animals, including bugs. When she was a toddler, I bought her one of those bug-catching kits. It was a great hit. So, I was pretty sure she would enjoy Jonathan Maberry's new book about alien bug invaders. I was right. She especially liked the variety of different characters, and all the action and mystery they encountered in their post-apocalyptic world. Five Stars and looking forward to book two.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An enjoyable adventure story for middle grade boys By Sandy Kay At the start I need to say that I love the author's zombie books -- both the ones written for adults and the ones written for teens. I was prepared to like this book simply because I had high expectations of the author, even though I wondered if aliens would be as interesting as zombies.Personally, I still prefer zombies, but I quite enjoyed this book and it should really appeal to middle grade boys. (Girls are more likely to read books with boys as the main character so I think girls will like this as well, but this will definitely appeal to boys.) There is some introspection by Milo in the book, especially in the chapters that are his dream journal, but this is a real action-oriented book. The characters are generally out on scavenging runs, being chased by the aliens, and fighting back against the aliens.The aliens are suitably creepy, looking like giant bugs (hence the humans call them Bugs) but are technologically advanced and are in the process of destroying Earth. People have abandoned towns and cities and live in resistance pods out in the country (or out in the bayou as this book is set in Louisiana).Milo, the main character is 11 years old which makes him several years younger than Benny Imura from The Rot & Ruin Collection: Rot & Ruin; Dust & Decay; Flesh & Bone; Fire & Ash. The intended reader of this book is correspondingly a little younger than that series as well. The publisher indicates it is for ages 8-12 (grades 3-7). There is violence and death, especially associated with the attacks by the alien "Bugs" that have invaded Earth so parent should make sure their younger children who may be at advanced reading levels will be comfortable with that.In addition to Milo, the main characters include his best friend "Shark," a girl named Lizabeth in his resistance pod (not a strong female character in this book, she's more of the damsel in distress type), and Barnaby their teenage pod instructor. There is another set of characters, the Orphan Army of the Nightsiders. I don't want to say much about them because it will be a spoiler, but they are different.I'm looking forward to the next book in the trilogy to see what happens next.
