Is This Apocalypse Over Yet?

Our hero Chris Alan has been in some tight situations to be sure. Hostile alien invasion, daring rescues of his friends, and trials by the insane kidnapper. But now he's marooned alone on the most hostile planet in the galaxy with no food, water, communication equipment, or spaceship. It couldn't look any bleaker. So all he has to do is pull off another miracle with absolutely no resources or reasonable hope of survival. Just another day in the life of a teenage boy. Same old same old, right?

Meanwhile, national governments across the globe are struggling to rise from the ashes left after the apocalyptic alien invasion. Rather than band together and work as one, all the old rivalries and mistrusts are resurfacing. And the trouble for Chris and his team begins at home. The POTUS is hopping mad that he's not in control of the alien technology instead of the group in Spokane. Attempts to strong-arm or sweet-talk Chris and his friends to relent in their quest for independence rain down on them from the US government nonstop.

Amidst unbearable stresses and endless threats, love is, as it tends to, finding a way. Chris and Natalie are cementing their relationship. And the Spokane Group begins producing working alien cloned technology to help humans' recovery. But old and petty jealousies make helping the world a dangerous proposition. No good deed, it seems, will be going unpunished. Because Chris is never going to catch a break, to top off his barrel-of-woe, Visquisor arrives back on the scene to destroy the entire solar system. He really holds on to a grudge, it would seem.

Can Chris escape being lost in space? Will power-hungry politicians wrest control of alien technology away from Chris and his team? Will Visquisor be able to blow up planet Earth? And, will Chris be able to keep his foot out of his mouth whenever he talks to Natalie? In short, what are the chances that a teenage boy can fight off seasoned politicos, murderous aliens, and understand women before it's too late?

Yeah, what could go right?
