Fifteen-year-old Jared must kill an innocent old man to complete his gang initiation, but instead of shooting, he drops the gun. He may have saved the old man's life only to lose his own.

First, it was the scientific race, and now an additional threat has risen from the sea. Years of hiding beneath the surface of the ocean, aliens led by Nezbollah, a religious zealot cast from their dying home planet from years of war with their scientific counterparts, has risen from the depths and they are back to finish what they started–except this time the battlefront is Earth.

Marcus, half-alien and half human, having discovered his heritage and still searching for a cure to the virus alien Nefertiry unleashed to control the human population, is on the run; searching for a scientist known for his research in mind control. It may be the only hope of taking back what remains of humankind and freewill—that is, if the scientist is still alive. It’s a long shot, but it’s the only one Marcus has in his arsenal. The stakes have risen.

Earth has become the battlefront for a deadly war between two deadly rivals and humans are pawns in their vicious game, with Marcus being the connection to all races. He is humanity’s hope for discovering how to reverse the infection and take back the planet. Will Marcus find the cure in time to save humanity and himself?
