Pages : 306
Book Description
It's 2030, and humanity is losing the war against alien invaders. A Band of Brothers meets Ender's Game in this sci-fi military thriller. A team of six has been chosen . . . . . . to infiltrate the enemy's headquarters in the heart of the Australian Outback. The six teens have been modified to look like aliens. They have spent years mastering alien culture so that they can talk, act—even think—like their enemies. But from the start, the recon mission goes terribly wrong. It's only when they are close to discovering the shocking truth of the aliens' plans that the team is forced to ask: Who among them is a traitor? Brian Falkner, author of The Project, Brain Jack, and The Tomorrow Code, delivers a page-turning military thriller with his signature heart-pounding action and unique sci-fi twists. Hand this to teens who love playing Call of Duty and Halo! "Falkner supplies a tight story that features a strong plot and believable characters. . . . [He] effectively employs the tropes of both survival and war stories to great effect. While an entirely satisfying read on its own, readers can only hope there is a second installment in the works."—Kirkus Reviews

Santiago's Daughter
Author: Lizette Lopez, LMFT
Publisher: Fulton Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1639850775
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
His name was Santiago Lopez Arellano Jr. He lived with undiagnosed bipolar disorder for many years, until he became another slain victim of COVID-19. And me, my name is Lizette and I am his daughter. This is the unwritten story of many people who struggle with undiagnosed and untreated mental health illnesses. But not just that, mix in being poor, not speaking English, not being a citizen, and having zero knowledge of mental health issues. In an autobiographical manner, I walk you through my experience of my father's mental illness, the effects it had on myself and on the entire family, and the many barriers to seeking appropriate care. I hope this writing provides insight into the experiences of mental health for those who might not otherwise hear about it. I wish and pray that it provides validation, connection, and resources to those who are currently living with similar experiences.
