In this “high-octane thriller” (Publishers Weekly), a young boy learns about his family’s hidden legacy as he’s plunged into an ancient alien conflict.

“Massive explosions, deadly shoot-outs, and harrowing escapes make this an exciting read.”—VOYA

“Car chases, explosions, and action galore—awesome.”—Kirkus Reviews

What is the secret behind his father’s invention . . . and why are so many willing to kill for it?

Tate and his father don’t exactly get along. As Tate sees it, his father has unreasonably high expectations for Tate to be the best—at everything. Tate finally learns what he’s being prepared for when he steals one of his dad’s odd tech inventions and mercenaries ambush his school, killing his father and sending Tate on the run from aliens who look just like humans. All Tate knows—like how to make weapons out of oranges and lighter fluid—may not be enough to save him as he’s plunged into a secret interspecies conflict that’s been going on for centuries.

“Car chases, explosions and action galore—awesome.”—Kirkus Reviews
