About this ebook

A jungle planet must defend against exploitative aliens in this novel by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
 From the rich imagination of science fiction great Alan Dean Foster comes the story of Midworld, a Humanx Commonwealth planet that’s equally fragile and hostile. Covered by a lush rainforest, Midworld is home to a primitive society that lives in harmony with the natural world. But the arrival of an exploitative human company, whose workers know nothing of Midworld’s delicate ecosystem, sparks a conflict. Should Midworld’s villagers aid the humans or stand against them? The hero of Foster’s addictive page-turner, Born, decides to lead two humans across the perilous jungle. His choice propels Midworld toward annihilation—and leads him headlong into a battle for survival.

Foster rarely fails to provide an engaging and entertaining story and this was no exception. It's a well told journey into a lush jungle world with a nice dash of adventure.

James Cameron started writing Avatar over 19 years ago and finally was able to make it come to life a few years ago. Not saying this book isn't entertaining, but it is completely unoriginal.
