Author Description

"In the Mexican jungle lies the key to humanity's survival... or destruction. Emerald Marcillon lives with her archaeologist parents at a dig site on the Yucatan Peninsula. She has trouble handling social situations and connecting with her peers, so she's an expert watcher. Her parents believe they have found artifacts from an alien war that spilled over onto Earth long ago. What they don't know is that Inamma, an alien AI that survived the war, lies hidden in the jungle, awaiting revenge. Inamma now needs the artifacts to end the war, and with it, humanity. Emerald's only hope is to escape on the Solar Explorer, a hollowed-out asteroid that will spend the next twelve years exploring the solar system. Can Emerald protect the artifacts and prevent Inamma from finishing its deadly weapon? Can she make friends and find allies?" -- page 4 of cover.
