An exciting and original debut sci-fi adventure trilogy for the gaming generation, from a screenwriter, film critic and gamer.

Fifteen-year-old girl gamer Casey Henderson is obsessed with smash-hit game SkyWake – and she’s good at it, too. Little does she realize it’s actually an alien training tool created by an evil extra-terrestrial race. When the aliens swoop down on a national gaming tournament, Casey and her teammates discover they’re abducting the best gamers to fight in a distant alien war across the galaxy. And they’ve got her brother. Casey’s gaming skills are her best hope of stopping the aliens – but first she and her online teammates must learn to work together in real life…

Reviews for Invasion (#1 SkyWake)

First in a gripping and original sci-fi trilogy, pitched for fans of Rick Riordan and Suzanne Collins. * The Bookseller * What a fantastic book! I loved reading this, it was so exciting I wish I could read it again for the first time! -- Reader, Age 11 * Toppsta * This was a fast paced and action packed read. I would suggest that it was for children over the age of 9, however I think younger children would enjoy it if it was read to them. I loved the whole gamer concept of this book and haven't come across many books with the same plot line. -- Teacher * Toppsta * If any book can get between kids and their screens, it's this one. * i News *
