Randy isn't your average 16-year-old; for one, he's a sergeant in the New Hampshire National Guard with four years of combat experience. A decade ago, aliens landed on Earth, destroyed all the major coastal cities, disabled all modern technology, and set up impenetrable bases across the world. Humanity barely survived, and few adults remain, leaving the fight for the future in the hands of teenagers like Randy and their K-9 companions, who have learned to sniff out the Creepers. Dispatched on a courier mission to the Capital, Randy soon is deep into a complex web of secrets that may mean a true end to the alien threat.
VERDICT DuBois (Resurrection Day) has written a great series opener for a range of readers. The adolescent characters make this an especially solid choice for teens with an interest in apocalyptic and disaster fiction.
