About Earth Shot:
Three young friends witness a UFO crash in a remote Suffolk forest and are forced to make a choice: will they help a dying alien stop Earth from being plunged into war? If so, they’ll have to trust their lives to a know-it-all computer nicknamed Magic, with its array of clever gadgets; take on a dangerous, shape-shifting enemy; break into a US Air Force base; and find a way to reach an orbiting spaceship. Ultimately, they’ll have to rely on one another’s loyalty and friendship if they are to stay alive and save the world.

Inspired by the infamous Rendlesham Forest Incident of 1980, Earth Shot is the first book in a new science fiction series for ages 9 and upwards. If you like stories of alien invasion and children’s action and adventure, the Seconds to Midnight series is for you!
