In the future, only one rule will matter: Don’t.
Ever. Peek.
Seventeen-year-old Ari Alexander just broke that
rule and saw the last person she expected hovering above her bed arrogant
Jackson Locke, the most popular boy in her school. She expects instant
execution or some kind of freak alien punishment, but instead, Jackson issues a
challenge: help him, or everyone on Earth will die.
Ari knows she should report him, but everything
about Jackson makes her question what she’s been taught about his kind. And
against her instincts, she’s falling for him. But Ari isn’t just any girl, and
Jackson wants more than her attention. She’s a military legacy who’s been
trained by her father and exposed to war strategies and societal information no
one can know especially an alien spy, like Jackson. Giving Jackson the
information he needs will betray her father and her country, but keeping silent
will start a war.
A totally unique story of aliens coming to earth. Usually, they are way more intelligent than us
and are trying to conquer and take over by killing everyone and using our land for
its supplies. and that is not really the case in this book. The Aliens are intelligent but they want to live in a
peaceful coexistence yes there may be some ulterior
motives and some of the Ancients as they are called I'm sure are not warm and fuzzy happy with humans. The ancients don't need as much
water as they claim they do and they hid many of their people on Earth called Latent or rogues. Which is against the treaty they only suppose up come for the Takings. Which is quite a
different concept they come in at midnight and the human has to wear this patch on their faces that cover their eyes and paralyzes the person for 30 minutes while the Ancient takes antibodies from the human?
There is a love story is good Lawrence(Law) and Ari are kinda betrothed by their parents since he is the son of the president and she is the daughter of the Commander sort of head of the military but she does not love Law she falls in love with Jackson who she finds out is the Ancient assigned to her for the takings. Some humans think that they can't coexist on the same planet with the Ancients because there is not enough food etc.
Humans' treatment and experimenting to torture the Ancients is wrong. Humans to find out how to kill them and disperse a neurotoxin. The Ancient just want to live in peace, but humans are sometimes afraid of someone or something that is different than they are and try to find ways to get rid of them or control them. Humans are mean which I think was totally uncalled for since the Ancient has not done anything really wrong they just want to live on Earth and have the Humans abide by the treaty.
From what I have gathered the Ancient have not done much to warrant this hostility yes they attack the school and other places but only because the humans refused to honor the agreement of the treaty for peaceful coexistence. Ari and Jackson work together to figure out what really is going on and help him stop the war from happening if humans do not comply with the laws of the treaty. They find out at the ball where the four heads of State around the world met to discuss which action to take and they decide on an Airborne attack which leads to the neurotoxin is released.
Humans did not think or know how the toxin might hurt humans too because some Ancient has the power to heal humans and given them Xylem in their bodies. So when it dispersed and many humans get sick included Ari and Chloe who was the operative showing Ari how they were experimenting on the Ancients. People panic the government refuses to connect the toxin and the disease as one and the same. They take the infected and put them into an execution camp and Zeus the leader of the ancients announces anyone who is sick can come live on Loge but the can never return home. Ari's mom is able to come up with an antitoxin to cure the symptoms but they only last an hour. Ari, Gretchen, and Lawrence all go to the camp to rescue the people in the process they have to fight and kill other humans who are there to guard the prisoners.
Jackson ends up showing up right when Ari antidote is wearing off and he carries her through a port to his planet. The book ends with her on Loge being treated for her illness and Ari having to deal with the fact she finds out Jackson is the grandson of Zeus and can she forgive him for lying to her. She is lost and confused and not sure if she will ever see Earth or her family again. Jackson says she can communicate with her family but what will happen how can this War be prevented.
