A note for parents
This is an action-driven sci-fi adventure aimed at middle-grade readers with military/combat themes but no graphic detail. The story centers on young people resisting alien control and features themes of independent thinking, leadership, and courage. While there are battle sequences and peril, violence is moderate and not gratuitously described. The premise of mind control and authoritarian alien occupation provides some scary elements but is framed within an adventure narrative rather than horror.

Million-copy bestselling Halo author and game developer Eric Nylund again brings action-packed science fiction to a young audience with the riveting second book in The Resisters series. Even as he trains to be a pilot for the Resisters, twelve-year-old Ethan Blackwood is still reeling from the news that aliens called the Ch'zar have taken over the world and put all the adults under their mind control. Now the Ch'zar mechanical bug armies are growing. The Resisters need more pilots like Ethan, kids who aren't afraid to think for themselves. Ethan knows just where the Ch'zar send troublemakers like that—to Sterling Reform School. Can Ethan find a way to break into Sterling and recruit new fighters before the enemy discovers the Resisters' underground base?
