Colt McAlister and his two best friends, Danielle Salazar and Ox Romaro are privileged to enter the C.H.A.O.S. military academy. But the transition is not an easy one: the world as we know it is changing and Colt is grabbling with all those changes and more. He's the classic reluctant hero, trying to come to terms with who he is in the universe and who everyone thinks he should be. The story weaves in lots of fun fantasy - school uniforms with nanotechnology that customize the fit to the wearer, electro-magnetic Hoverboards, and over the top simulation rooms, for starters. But there's also a great story with tons of danger, intrigue, and shape-shifting alien assassins.
Alienation is a sci-fi hit that caters to kids of all ages. Not that I'm telling my age or anything. But I, like, totally enjoyed the story! This is the second book in the C.H.A.O.S. series, and though I do wish I had read Invasion first - it was easy to dive into the story, cozy up to the characters, and run with the action. And now I can go pick up the first book and see what I missed. Then look forward to the next in the series!

Welcome to the campaign for DC Comics author Jon Lewis' thrilling new novel in the C.H.A.O.S. series, Alienation! To celebrate Jon has teamed up with his publisher, Thomas Nelson, for the Alienation iPad2 Giveaway (1/19 - 2/17)!
This second installment in Lewis' series was inspired by the life of King David. As a boy, David started out as an underdog, but went on to overcome an unlikely beginning and high-level betrayal to become a respected warrior and national hero. Lewis says, "In Alienation I want readers to realize that like Colt, we all have a special calling. We just need to figure out what it is." Young adults and fans of graphic novels will find Alienation and the C.H.A.O.S. series a thrilling read, which includes a graphic novel prologue and a sketchbook of characters.
Praise for the series:
comic book superscience, and mind-control technology...a fun read...."
--Publishers Weekly
"Comic book characters come to life! ...Brisk pace, aliens and jet-packs--
Lewis is a veteran of the comic-book industry, and his plot is a domestic read-alike of Alex Rider."
--Kirkus Reviews
About the book:
| After his parents were killed in a car accident, Colt McAllister was
drawn into a world he thought only existed in comic books-one where mind
control, jet packs, and flying motorcycles don't even scratch the
surface. Along with his best friends Oz and Danielle, Colt is now training at the secret Central Headquarters Against the Occult and Supernatural academy. But strange accidents seem to follow him. . . even with the security of the school grounds. What first seems random soon turns deadly. But who is targeting Colt? |
As the alien invasions increase in frequency and force, C.H.A.O.S
resources are taxed to the limit and they're forced to utilize the new
recruits. In the midst of battle, Colt will discover some startling
revelations . . . about himself, his friendship with Oz, and why he has
been chosen to defeat this alien attack against earth.
