After saving the Earth from one very dangerous pirate warrior named Morbid, Menzuo is ready to continue his preparation to become the true Universal Protector.

Menzuo is back!

We first meet Menzuo in "Menzuo: Calling of the Sun Prince". In that one, an 11-year-old boy finds out he's really a prince from another planet and has to save the Earth from an evil pirate king. Spoiler: he does.

After that battle, he gets to be a (mostly) normal kid for a few years, but as things do, evil returns. He needs to find the legendary blue diamond in order to battle it.

These books are really for a pre-teen audience, IMHO, but I enjoyed both of these stories, though I think I liked this one better. Though I'm an adult, this felt like watching anime which is enjoyed by all age ranges.

The narrator was great, providing distinctive voices for each character. My only complaint is that he said "Hurry! We have to get out of here!" with the same sense of urgency as "So, how was your day?" I really didn't feel the panic or urgency whenever a character supposedly yelled in panic. Other than that, it was great.

This was a great story full of action and interesting characters. A super hero tale, to be sure. The narration is fairly well done. There were some times where there wasn't enough tension is his voice during some of the action, but not so much as to be a detriment. All in all, this is a fun tale that most could enjoy.
