More about the book

In the gripping conclusion to Brendan DuBois's alien-invasion trilogy, the fight for Earth's future intensifies. Sixteen-year-old Randy Knox, a newly minted lieutenant in the U.S. Army, has battled the alien Creepers since he was twelve. After the destruction of one Creeper orbital battle station, hope was fleetingly restored, but a second station has now emerged. During his return to his unit, Randy's convoy is ambushed, leaving him separated from his fellow soldiers and his K-9 companion, Thor. Faced with the terrifying prospect of becoming a prisoner of war, Randy must summon all his courage to confront the alien threat. The prequel, "Red Vengeance," showcases Randy's struggle in a two-front war against both the Creepers and internal saboteurs, highlighting his determination to protect his loved ones. The first book, "Dark Victory," introduces readers to a world of apocalyptic conflict, featuring adolescent characters that resonate with teen readers interested in disaster fiction. Critics praise DuBois for his nail-biting suspense, complex characterization, and gritty realism in military depictions. With a reputation for creating deeply realized characters and exquisite suspense, DuBois stands out as a masterful storyteller in the genre.
