Max and the Hidden Visitor by D P Bowkett

If you love science-fiction, like Doctor Who and Star Trek, but also enjoy coming-of-age tales like Heartstopper, this book is for you.

Max Janus has made many mistakes since first coming to Earth during the peak of the Roman Empire to chase down alien criminals called Deceptors. Things take an unexpected twist when an accident whilst chasing a female Deceptor in 21^st Century London results in him waking up inside the body of a 17-year-old boy. Despite Max transmuting inside a new host every 30 years or so, he has become set in his ways. He has relied on generations of the same family of doctors to be his next host as they reach thirty years of age, so finding himself having to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of a teenager struggling with exams, driving lessons, and his sexuality is sure to cause mayhem.

When>Bobby Morris sees an old man knocked over in Piccadilly Circus, he couldn't have imagined how much his life was about to be disrupted. Suddenly finding he will be spending the next six months hosting a centuries-old alien until it can build a new human body shell is bad enough, but finding out that this alien's past has put the lives of his friends and family at risk leaves him with little choice but to join in the battle.

Sci-fi action and adventure trade places as Bobby's alien body lodger is revealed to his friends, who agree to support him on the quest to uncover who that Deceptor is and why the police seem to be helping the Deceptor.
