At first glance, Lee might seem like an average fifteen year old, shooting the breeze with his friends around a campfire, crushing on his friend Dana, sassing the assistant principal at school, but Lee has a little bit more responsibility than your average kid: he's the next Alien Hunter, bequeathed with the List of hidden alien outlaws living and lurking on Earth in disguise. All must be destroyed in order to protect the human race from eventual takeover. That's a big job for one teenager.  Lee's father had the title of Alien Hunter until number one on the List, The Prayer, killed him and Lee's mother in cold blood. Lee was just three. Ever since, his supreme abilities—being able to change shape and conjure up his long-dead parents out of thin-air—have gotten him through life, not to mention countless battles with aliens that roam the Earth. Next on the list is number six, Ergent Seth—a crude, grotesque creature and a pretentious Hollywood film director/producer. Lee's quest to search out and destroy number-six leads him right into the arms of super-cute Sarah Wilson—and a deadly trap that takes him to Ergent Seth's spacecraft. It's heading for a place beyond Lee's comprehension: his home planet. And it turns out that Earth, Lee's adopted home, isn't the only planet that needs to be saved. James Patterson's exciting new series is full of high wish-fulfillment fantasy, humor, and of course, all of the suspense that Patterson fans have come to expect. Only this time, it's literally out of this world.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

They could not have done better than Milo Ventimiglia as the narrator. Audiofile
“Patterson jumps on the superheroes bandwagon with contributor Ledwidge and delivers the adventures of Daniel X, a superpowered alien whose mission is to defend Earth from more malignant, threatening aliens…The production is sparsely sprinkled with sound effects, which work quite well and add to the story…Milo Ventimiglia makes it worth the listen. His timing and inflection match perfectly with Daniel, the first-person protagonist. He sounds youthful enough to be believable as Daniel and easily transitions to other character voices within the story.” Publishers Weekly audio review
They could not have done better than Milo Ventimiglia as the narrator. Audiofile
“Moving at a furious speed, Patterson and Gout deliver an action-packed, sci-fi thrill ride perfectly suited to a young male readership.” Booklist
“Meet Daniel, whose role as the Alien Hunter is to protect Earth. Patterson says it’s the best story he’s ever written.” Library Journal
“They could not have done better than Milo Ventimiglia as the narrator.” AudioFile
“The action-packed story line, kinetic computer-generated art, and Patterson’s name are sure to attract readers.” School Library Journal
