Outernet: Friend or Foe — Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore Published by Scholastic, 2002 My favorite fiction book is called Outernet. It's about an intergalactic war between the FOES and the Friends, who are fighting over servers, which are machines that connect creatures from other planets through the Outernet. Every planet in the Milky Way has one except Earth. Whoever has all the servers will control the galaxy. The FOES leader is the tyrant who wants to rule the universe. The Friends want to restore balance to the galaxy. Their leader is the Weaver, who created the Outernet. But no one has ever seen him. There is only one server left in the Friends, and it gives the identity of the Weaver. —Romal, 14
