Cleopatra in Space #1: Target Practice
Adorable!This starts out all Indiana Jones (and goes back to Indiana Jones a couple of times) then jumps back to Ancient Egypt then forwards to [b:Ender's Game|375802|Ender's Game (The Ender Quintet, #1)|Orson Scott Card|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388177928s/375802.jpg|2422333] while maybe being a bit like [b:The Search for WondLa|7327327|The Search for WondLa (WondLa, #1)|Tony DiTerlizzi|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1361401746s/7327327.jpg|8944726] and it all centers on Cleopatra VII, fifteen-year-old prophesized savior of the galaxy.
And why is the galaxy in trouble this time?
Because the Xerx have captured and locked all the electronic data in existence. They have all the information and economies are collapsing, entire worlds have lost their histories and cultures, and there are only small sectors of the universe that remain non-invaded, primarily because someone realized that relying on The Cloud isn't always going to cut it, so wrote stuff down.
I can't tell you how that makes me grin with gleeful wickedness.
Also: Lots of cats.
I enjoyed this and hope the rest of the series remains as upbeat, adventurous, zazzy, and cute.
