Final book of Antrian Messenger Trilogy (The Antrian Messenger, The
Seer) featuring Scott, an alien child with psi abilities trying to
survive on earth. This one has him visiting Earth on his birthday
because he's lonely, and getting captured by evil scientists
experimenting on kids with psi abilities (all with alien ancestry).
Weirdly flat - nothing bad happens to the kids being studied by the scientists (although other non-character people were discussed having been "studied" to death), Scott and his "guardian"
alien have nearly unlimited powers, and the scientists are paper-thin.
Nifty concept, especially contrasted to the recent Man of Steel movie
which also focuses on an alien child with nearly unlimited powers trying
to do the right thing while growing up on earth. Sadly, not an excellent rendition of said nifty concept.
Have not, and most likely will not read the previous two installments.
