Well it's nice to see that Cale's character in the film pretty much matched who he was growing up. He still had a lot of growing up to do in the film so it makes a lot of sense that he really didn't do much getting there.

The book is essentially his early teenager years to shortly before the start of the film. We meet his foster sister and learn more about Tek (his foster father).

I'm not a fan of the SIBLINGS ALWAYS HATE EACH OTHER except deep down they love each other trope. I know siblings who care about each other. They get on each other's nerves no matter what in some ways, particularly when they're both very young, but Cale and his sister's relationship reminded me of some of the worst parts of my relationship with my sister, but from the older sibling's perspective, where you get to see how much of an ass the older sibling is. That's not an empathetic character. It's nice that he at least actually cares about her, but it's hard to read through.

And of course it's hard to really accept in some ways that this is the same Cale as in the film. He does some decent growing up and has some accomplishments under his belt and his situation (and particularly Tek's) are hard to reconcile with where they end up in the beginning of the film (like it's their last shot and they're stuck there until they hit gold, which is by NO means the case in the book). Not that the film was perfect by any stretch but it's not one of the better after-written prequels I've read. And honestly, if all you wanted to do was rewrite the film... then do that. That would have been a lot more interesting.

It was nice that they added another female character (technically two, but Tek's wife is dead in the book) to the mix and that she was really smart and adventurous and loving and capable. Although I wonder what she got up to after the events in "Titan A.E." or if she ever got to meet Akima or reunite with Tek. It was also neat to learn what exactly Tek DID on the Titan project, and I guess where Cale got the tattoo.

But other than that... it's not an enjoyable read. Kind of like reading a really long wikipedia entry on whichever character from any franchise you want to know more about. Boring. Lots of typos and badly edited moments (none of the tie-in novels were well-edited) and some plot holes. ( )
