An award-winning journalist investigates a story largely ignored by mainstream media but right there, in front of our eyes... Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists. But after decades of denial, the US Department of Defence made the astonishing admission in 2020 that strange aerial and underwater objects frequently reported and videoed by pilots and tracked by sensors are real and unexplained, and pose a genuine national security concern. Compelled to investigate, Coulthart has embarked on what's become the most confronting and challenging story of his career.

Now Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco can transform into some of the most dangerous creatures on Earth. And they must use that power to outsmart an evil greater than anything the world has ever seen"--Provided by publisher.

"When Tobias and his friends were given the power to morph, they were also given an important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours.

But to do so, he'll have to contend with a part of himself that's wrestling for dominion. A part that isn't human. For Tobias, the fight against the Yeerks is more pressing than ever--not just for humankind, but for his own humanity"--Provided by publisher.
