The fact that someone had decided I'd be safer on Mars, where you could still only SORT OF breathe the air and SORT OF not get sunburned to death, was a sign that the war with the aliens was not going fantastically well. When Alice Dare finds out that she's being evacuated to Mars to join the youth defence force, she isn't sure what to expect.

But it sure wasn't being shot at, chased by invisible aliens, befriending a robot goldfish - and then having to save the galaxy!A stellar new adventure sci-fi series, perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Artemis Fowl.
