The world is not as it seems. Humanity believes itself to be the dominant species on Earth, but they know nothing. They do not know the truth, and they would never believe even it if they were told. A loathsome evil watches from the fringes, its malevolent eyes set solely on Earth. It desires the total destruction of humanity; and to achieve that it will darken the skies and scorch the planet until nothing remained. Yet, a small band of warriors waits and watches; gifted beyond anything a mortal could hope to achieve. These men and women, blessed with eternal youth and physical prowess, were meant to protect humanity. But the darkness already seeps into the world, contaminating and corrupting everything it touches; including humanity's protectors. But one man holds the key to stopping this coming apocalypse; a young university student by the name of James Morrison. He knows the truth of the world, a secret almost as old as time; because this secret was once his to keep. Yet that secret had secrets of its own, and as the world collapses around him, James Morrison finds that not even he holds all the answers.

Book two starts five months after the end of the first one; with Alexander struggling to return to his squadron, and Angela fighting to survive on the front lines without his amazing skills or powerful presence. With the affects of the Eden program plaguing his every living moment, a broken and battered Alexander finds that in order to return to his friends and fight against the alien abominations that have stolen nearly everything from him, he must first survive the most intense and gruelling training the American Military has to offer. He must make it through Marine Corps Boot Camp, a training program designed to destroy young men and women, and then build them back up into one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. His second in command, Angela, however, finds herself stuck out on the front lines with the other members of the squadron as she is now forced to somehow take his place as the Squadron Commander of a tired, and depressed outfit that is down two members. Yet, with the U.N.E. threat pushing against NATO forces and threatening to invade Germany, she and her friends must fight on and give Alexander time to return.

Katelyn Valentine isn't a stereotypical high school girl. She isn't the type of girl who would crush over boy bands or dream about her wedding. She is, however, the type of girl who claims that all celebrities are overrated. Unlike her best friend Delaney, who is obsessed over hot teen celebrities, Kate simply enjoys the life without drama. Alex Monreaux is the hot new face of Hollywood. Everywhere he goes, there are cameras, intrusive paparazzi and persistent screaming fans. So what brings this young teen celebrity to a small town? Kate soon finds herself to be stuck, stuck living with famous teen celebrity Alex (who she had no idea existed until he came knocking on her front door). Left without a choice, she is now forced to sacrifice her ordinary lifestyle and try to make the best out of the rest of her high school life, that is, if Alex could make that possible. Who would've thought that living with a celebrity could be so annoying? © 2010-2011 imperfectdreamer. All rights reserved. | Thank you for reading!
