Description
He didn't ask to be a hero, but now all that stands between us and chaos . . . is Colt.
Colt McAlister was having the summer of his life. He spent his days surfing and his nights playing guitar on the beach with friends. He even met a girl and got his first car. But everything changes when his parents are killed in a freak accident.
He's forced to leave his old life behind and move to Arizona with his grandfather. The only person he knows at the new high school is a childhood friend named Dani. And Oz, a guy he's sure he's never met but who is strangely familiar.
But what if his parents' death wasn't an accident? His mother, an investigative reporter, was going to expose a secret mind-control program run by one of the world's largest companies. Before she could release the story, what if agents from Trident Biotech made sure she couldn't go public?
Vowing to uncover truth, Colt is drawn into a secret world of aliens, shapeshifters, flying motorcycles, and invisible getaways.
The invasion has begun.

Reviews / Votes
". . . Crackling plot twists, cliffhanger chapter endings, cyber attacks, alieninvaders, and an undercurrent of teen romance." * BookViews by Alan Caruba * "[A] fast-paced and well-defined world will keep readers glued to the
pages." * School Library Journal * "A fun read." * Publishers Weekly * "Lewis is a veteran of the comic-book industry, and his plot is a domestic
read-alike of Alex Rider." * Kirkus Reviews * "Mechanical spiders, jet packs, Nazi/alien alliances, and characters with
names like Borog and Zandarr will render certain readers putty in Lewis'
capable hands." * Booklist *
