The recipient of RWA's Lifetime Achievement Award and ITW's ThrillerMaster Award, Heather Graham is at the pinnacle of her career. In Blood Moon, she and USA Today bestselling author Jon Land continue the story of high school seniors Alex Chin and Samantha Dixon that began with The Rising. After winning a major battle against the alien invaders, Alex and Sam's journey to save humanity continues even as their friendship blossoms into something more. Guiding their steps is a mysterious book, written in a language that has never been deciphered . . . until Alex finds himself able to translate it. Soon, the teens are traversing the world, with each new destination holding another key to defeating the aliens. An ageless foe, long the guardian of the secrets his race left behind on Earth, rises to stop them, whatever the cost. At his disposal is a deadly and merciless army that has been awaiting this very war, an army as unstoppable as it is relentless. Over the ruins of the lost Mayan city of El Mirador, a blood moon is about to rise, triggering the end of humanity, unless Alex and Sam can prevail in a struggle that will determine the fate of the planet.
