Sons of the Phoenix Joseph MacKay

Without warning, a savage alien race began attacking Earth's colonies. Marlena Mercer, the greatest pilot in the United Earth Defense Force, was there to stop them.

She failed.

Now, six years have passed and the threat remains, slowly moving closer to Earth. The task of defending mankind falls upon the sons of the legendary hero.

Connor often dreams about the alien creatures that killed his mother. Raised by his step-father for six years, Connor is unexpectedly drafted into military service on his tenth birthday to take part in experimental alien enhancements and specialized training at the OMBIcademy.

Frustrated by strict rules of the academy, haunted by unrelenting dreams of his mother, and living in the shadow of his older brother's achievements, Connor clings to the one thing that sets him apart from the other recruits: his indomitable determination.
