(This is my first review for Booksneeze. Tell me watcha’ think in the comments!) Invasion… was… crazy/mind-blowing/awesome/spectacular/fantasmal/bombastic/etc. I can’t really come up with words for this novel. Honestly, I said to my mom, “This is AWESOME.” I was on page two. 🙂

Colt McAlister is the average California kid. Blond, mop-headed, blue eyes, fair skin- and he loves to surf. When on a vacation in Washington, his dad takes him to a military academy which turns out to be a training camp for potential cadets for CHAOS, a organization that protects Earth from anything not from Earth, i.e. Aliens. Six armed, fur covered, two-headed, robot melded Aliens.
But an accident makes it necessary for Colt to move, and the precious few things he learned at the academy are forgotten. Now living in Arizona, Colt struggles to fit in. But, after overhearing a conversation that, by all logical standards, did not make any sense, Colt starts to research, looking for answers. And as he soon finds, those “answers” are looking for him, too.
Nothing could prepare him for his coming discovery- Aliens are on Earth. In fact, they’ve been on Earth for quite a while, and they have gained enough control to bring the Earth to its knees. All that stands between the Aliens and world domination is McAlister. (And, perhaps, a computer hacker, a jock, and a jetpack or two.)

Classic Scifi, brilliant plot, and the characters were amazing. McAlister was 100% real, and the plot was engaging enough that I was up pretty late until midnight reading. 🙂 It was simply wonderous, and if I go on any longer I think I might tarnish its glory. The only thing I have left to say is “Go and buy it. And tip the cashier.” Happy reading!
I was provided with a complimentary copy of “Invasion” through Booksneeze, a book-for-review program. This in no way affected my views or opinions of the book.
