This one has been the best one of the series so far. Lots of action that pushed the story forward.

This book only existed in one format at my public library: on CDs! It took me forever to listen to it in the car. The biggest thing I took away from this book was that I'm not an audio book reader / listener. I finally started listening with a pen and paper nearby, so I could take notes. This will be the vaguest of all the reviews I write, because nothing in the audio book really "stuck."
The two teams head to Aqua Gen (I have no idea if this is spelled correctly, because I listened, I didn't read it) and Dash's team heads down to the surface, leaving Piper (who doesn't swim well) to run the analysis on where to find the element, pollen slither. It comes from the ocean floor, and rises to the surface.
It starts with Dash's log entry, saying he's left a crew member behind. An ominous start. But then the book skips back in time to the start of the mission, so you're reading to find out which member does he have to leave behind?
Right off the bat, Dash and Carly and Gabriel try to use the water skis, jet skis, essentially to find a pollen slither slick, and they're knocked off by the planet's biggest predator, Predator Z. The other team, Team Omega, leads the planet's pirates right to the kids, who take them hostage while Ana and her team seek out the source of the pollen slither.
The pirates are then attacked by another form of predator, I forget which, and other pirates attack those pirates, and Dash's team's new ally, the first pirate leader, manages to keep them safe. Dash finally gets a hold of STEAM, the little robot, to bring the ship down close and they're let free to find the source of the pollen slither. Notably, the pirate captain gives him a ring of processed pollen slither, a token of their alliance.
In the meantime, Piper's been unable to reach them, so when she finally figures out where the pollen slither's coming from, she conquers her fears and hops into the submarine to descend to the bottom of the ocean to mine it. But Team Omega gets there first, and the second set of pirates, the ones who attacked Dash and his team on the surface, are prowling underwater, as well.
I won't ruin how it ends. I loved the non-linear storytelling. I just wish there were new editions, so my library could purchase a new (non-audio) copy.

The adventure continues to save earth by gathering the elements needed to fuel the world. The Voyagers must contend with a water planet and its inhabitants along with the Omega team which haunts them at every turn.
I enjoyed the beginning of this series, but by this point, I'm quite frankly bored. I probably won't continue the series. Because I am pretty sure how each book will go and how the series will end. I am sure that this is a fine series for kids, but as an adult, it isn't doing anything for me.

Still enjoyable and I definitely liked the water planet. Getting really really sick of Anna. I understand she's supposed to be the "bad guy" but she's starting to ruin the series for me. Would be so much better without her completely or at least toned down. She's more Umbridge than Voldermort and that's not a good thing. What a bitchy little girl!
