Pittacus Lore finished telling the story of the Lorien Nine in the New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four and Lorien Legacies Reborn series. Now he’s back to recount an all-new adventure rooted in the real mysteries surrounding Roswell, New Mexico, that will enthrall fans of Brandon Sanderson, Jay Kristoff, and Amie Kaufman.

We have waited generations for you…

Syd Chambers knows that there’s life on other planets because he’s descended from it. His father was from a distant world called Denza and has been missing—presumed dead—for years.

When Syd discovers a device his father left behind which shows not only that he’s alive, but where he is, Syd must set out on a mission of his own. But along the way, he discovers a deadly, unbearable secret that could destroy Denza, Earth, and the universe.


  • Half-Alien Protagonist: For sixteen years, Syd Chambers has been hiding his alien heritage. But when a message from his long-lost father proves he’s still alive, the secret is out.
  • Teens with Superpowers: On Earth, Syd is a fugitive. In the Vastness of space, he’s nearly invulnerable. But this newfound power comes with a deadly price if he ever returns home.
  • Galactic Conspiracy: Syd’s father didn’t just disappear—he was betrayed. Now Syd is thrust into a generations-old conflict where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
  • Space Academy: To find his father, Syd must join the Serpo Institute and train alongside a diverse crew of alien cadets—some of whom can’t be trusted.
