27 years is a long time unless you are trying to save the world. Nick was enjoying a late fall day, happily skipping his English class, when he was interrupted by a little silver ball. A ball that not only spoke but claimed to be an alien artificial intelligence sent to warn humanity that a xenophobic alien race was on its way to wipe out every man, woman, and child on the Earth. The catch; they would arrive in twenty-seven years. Can Nick prepare the world for an invasion that no one knows is coming? Can he gather the people together to do what he can't? Can he move the sciences forward a thousand years in just under thirty? Most importantly, can he finish high school? After all, when someone asks you to save the world, there is only one right answer. " SURE?... "

Against all odds, four friends have advanced the sciences, influenced world media, and created a world government. But the Aliens are coming. Will it be enough? Can Nick, David, Cindy, and Jake save the Earth, or will they be wiped out with the rest of humanity? It will take a colony ship, battlecruisers, a mission to Mars, exosuits, and Casinos on the moon. They have all looked toward the future since they were sixteen years old... But the Future is NOW.
