Why? Oh, maybe the bruises that glow neon blue. Or the even higher odds of being rejected by his dream girl. Or, best of all, the sudden attention from gun-toting goons in dark suits.

Winston's mom thinks some junk left by Winston's long-missing father in a safe deposit box might make things better. Not likely.

It's going to take more than alien artifacts and a plastic baggie of clues to stop a mysterious government organization. It might take Winston giving up everything he's ever wanted. And everyone.

Armed only with his wits, his snarky best friend, and a few wicked new abilities, Winston has to stay one step ahead of a lunatic and dive into the past. Otherwise, there won't be a future.

Winston Chase and the Alpha Machine is book 1 in a completed trilogy packed with electrifying fun and adventure.
