Winston Chase and the Alpha Machine (Book 1‪)‬

Winston Chase just found out he's half alien and the only one who can prevent World War III. That's a lot to lay on an eighth grader.

When he woke up, Winston only cared about winning the annual robotics competition. And maybe being able to speak in complete sentences to this one girl. Now, though, he has to follow clues to alien artifacts while being hunted by the police, FBI, and a secret organization called Management.

Fortunately, Winston arrives armed with strange new abilities and a snarky best friend. Unfortunately, Winston's worst enemy, a man hungry for power and obsessed with destroying everyone Winston loves, is right on his heels.

Winston Chase and the Alpha Machine is book 1 in a completed trilogy packed with electrifying fun and edge-of-your-seat adventure.

Reviewers rave:
"What a great book! The pace is exciting and made me want to keep reading to find out what would happen next.""[The author] did a marvelous job creating characters that come to life. His wit and clever modern references will make you laugh out loud while sitting on the edge of our seat. … I have started reading this to my class, and they are hooked.""It was very inventive. ... A big secret, many perils, foes, and unlikely heroes [all] sparking the imagination.""Such a unique story. … I have come late in life to the science fiction genre, but probably because there was not a fabulous book like this, where I could relate to the characters, when I was young.""This book wasn't anything that I thought it would be, it was better."
