After two young boys find what they believe is a dinosaur egg, the military gets involved immediately.

When aliens emerge from the eggs, Neil and Mavra are struck with a moral decision whether to allow the military to analyze the aliens or to help the aliens go free. Their travels eventually take them to Area 51, where Neil and Mavra are forced to come up with a foolproof plan to help the aliens. Neil is a detective who can think independently from both sides of his brain and Mavra is a psychic with uncanny powers.

The government only wants to capture, secure, and research the aliens. Neil and Mavra know this will only put the aliens in greater danger. This is a lighthearted and fun book about what might happen if aliens were found here on Earth. It brings up morale as well as safety questions throughout that each character struggles with in his or her own way.
