COPY - Undertow

In the first book of the trilogy, titled “Undertow”, sixteen-year-old Lyric Walker’s life is forever changed when she witnesses the arrival of 30,000 Alpha, a five-nation race of ocean-dwelling warriors, on her beach in Coney Island. Initially, the world is filled with wonder and awe over the Alpha, but things quickly take a dark turn. Paranoia and violence erupt, and Lyric’s small town transforms into a military zone, with humans on one side and Alpha on the other. Lyric is recruited to help the crown prince, a boy named Fathom, assimilate into this new reality. As she spends time with Fathom, she begins to fall for him, but their love is dangerous. Forces on both sides work to keep them apart. However, what if the Alpha are not actually the enemy? What if they are humanity’s only hope of survival? Because a more terrifying threat looms, and it’s unlike anything the world has ever seen2. The trilogy blends action, suspense, and romance, creating a cinematic saga that has been described as a mix of “District 9” and “The Outsiders”. Michael Buckley, the New York Times bestselling author, weaves a captivating tale that explores themes of identity, love, and survival in a world forever altered by the arrival of the Alpha2.
