  1. Aliens, conspiracies, and a family-owned hotel near Cape Canaveral, Florida: what’s there not to like? When a NASA launch gets delayed due to an unexplainable, enormous UFO, Aidan and his friend Louis try to figure out what’s really going on. There’s got to be a logical explanation, right? However, the explanation that we get is certainly the last thing that any of us would expect…

    I thought this book was a bit anti-climactic. The book was mostly talking than adventure even though you'd think that a book about aliens would be more exciting. I feel like the book would be more exciting if Greg Leitich Smith would have wrote more about entering the UFO or transforming minds into an alien. Just my thoughts though.
