4 young boys from the small town of Springbrook Gardens have found out aliens are planning a global invasion starting in their town and the military plans on stopping it at any cost, even if it means sacrificing the small town in the process. now the 4 boys have one day to warn everyone and no one will believe them. by the time it’s over they will have discovered the shocking origins of mankind.

caution: to anyone who is about to read this novel, you must be warned.

THIS novel will change your life. you will never see the world the same way again. everything you know and believe will be called into question, including your religion.

WHERE did mankind come from? what are our true origins?

EVERYTHING you have been told throughout your life about the creation of man is a lie. creationism or evolution: they’re both wrong.

YOU must now decide: walk away and continue to live “the lie” or read on and see the truth of the origins of mankind, even if it means calling into question the very core of where you came from and who you “truly” are.

WHAT would you do if you knew something horrifying was going to happen that’ll lead to devastating consequences for billions of people and no one will believe a word you say when you try and warn them?

4 young, awkward shy boys from the small town of Springbrook Gardens will face that impossible question.

IT’S the weekend of the biggest event of the year, the annual variety talent show and the kids are hoping to win first prize to gain the respect they desperately crave. for the last year, they have been known around town as the “cry wolves’ gang” because of the constant practical jokes they have played. It’s to a point where no one would believe them even if they said the sky was blue.

THE weather is perfect. music group sensation “fly by night” is booked for the weekend, a fireworks show is set to go, and a military platoon lead by the “the general” has arrived for a meet and greet, everyone is happy. from a distance everything looks perfect, nothing could possibly go wrong.

UNTIL the kids stumble across the true reasons of the military presences in their small town. a friendly meet and greet is the farthest thing from the general’s mind.

ON a Friday night the kids are in the woods and to their amazement, they witness a ufo landing. they discover to their horror aliens are planning an attack on their town and will move out like a virus to destroy the world. as if it couldn’t get any worse, the military secretly plans on do anything it takes to stop them to save the planet, even if it means sacrificing the entire town by crashing the massive mother ship down on top of it. the kids are in a panic, they need to warn everyone, but who would believe the cry wolves’ gang? a group infamous for their lies. now the four boys have only 24 hours to find a way to stop the battle between aliens and the military to save their town, even if it means sacrificing themselves to do it.

aliens vs. the military: whoever wins, the town loses.

WILL they save their town in time? will the aliens succeed in attacking and what will the boys discover along the way about the origins of mankind that will astonish themselves and soon shock the world?
