""Firestorm" is a gripping tale of the relentless and unnecessary harm we humans have done to our earth, and a reminder that there is still hope for our planet if each person stands up and acts in its defense before it is too late. This is a book every environmentally conscious school science program should make required reading." --Gerd Leipold, Executive Director, Greenpeace International ""Firestorm" combines heart-pounding action, dark fantasy, and a timely environmental message. David Klass knows how to keep the pages turning. Once you`ve spent time with his high-school-aged hero, Jack Danielson, you`ll be waiting anxiously for the rest of the trilogy." --Rick Riordan, author of "The Lightning Thief" " " "Fearless and clever, this book boasts full-throttle action from the first page to the last." --David Marusek, author of "Counting Heads" " "" " "Klass has scored a hat trick with "Firestorm"--incredibly original, vitally important, and one hell of a ride." --David Baldacci, author of "The Camel Club"
His mother is not his mother. His father is not his father. And if Jack he hadn`t broken the high school rushing record that night, nothing would have changed. He`d just be going out for pizza, playing football, trying yet again to score with his girlfriend, P.J. But he did break the record. He appeared on the news. And now they have found him. Ripped from the only world he has ever known, Jack plunges into a space-time“bending game of survival with no way out. The rules are shrouded in secrets they say he can`t handle. But some things he learns fast: Trust no one. Never forget that your friends could reveal themselves as your enemies at any second. Every turn leads to betrayal. And if you don`t go along with it, you die. After centuries of abuse, the earth is dying, and it`s up to Jack to reverse the decline before the Turning Point, when nothing will ever be the same again. Beaten into shape by a ninja babe and a huge telepathic man`s best friend, Jack hurtles across the ocean to save the future from the present and to solve the mystery of his purpose. Exactly who, or what, is Firestorm, and what does it have to do with Jack? And what comes next when everything you have ever known turns out to be wrong?ISBN 9780312380182
