Publisher Description

It's a typical night for high-school senior Jack Danielson. A star football player, he just broke the league rushing record, celebrated at the local diner, and got shot down (again) by his girlfriend. Jack feels he's having the most normal senior year a guy could have in the most normal little town in America. He couldn't be more wrong.

His football exploits were featured on the television news, and now he's in terrible danger. Jack learns his mom and dad are not his real parents. In fact, everything he knows is a lie. The truth is, Jack's a powerful guardian from the future sent back to prevent an ecological disaster. But now the Dark Army knows how to find him - and they're coming fast.

"This is an environmentally themed book that I enjoyed much more than Hoot. It is also an adventure thriller that is more thrilling than the Alex Rider books. Yet, it doesn't seem to have the popularity of either of those other books. Jack has had a normal childhood with attentive parents, good grades, success in athletics (he plays football), and a girlfriend P.J. His father has always encouraged him not to excel too much and one day, forgetting this advice, Jack breaks the school's rushing record, ends up on tv and suddenly his life is completely changed. He is constantly on the run or hiding to survive. He learns that his parents - now probably dead are not his real parents - and he is far from normal, having been sent from the future to try to save the world by finding Firestorm, which no one can tell him anything about. This story involves an evil environmental despot, martial arts training, and the ability to talk to a dog. Jack also faces an identity crisis and is trying to figure out who he is as all that he thought he was and had is taken from him."

    " I listened to this and I am sure I missed some important details. I have to admit I was a little disappointed with it. It was too unbelievable. I like science fiction/fantasy that is more realistic. "

    " Disclaimer: I did not finish this book. I made it about 3/4 of the way though and I had enough. The writing in this book was not great at best. The story started off interesting enough but it spiraled downward after the first few chapters. Once the story was not interesting anymore the writing did nothing to keep my attention. I made it so far hoping that it would turn around but it never did. I usually won't stop a book this far in but I could just not take it anymore. I am going to give it the benefit of the doubt and assume the author turned it around at the end, but I guess I will never know. "

    " I only made it to about page 100 in this book. I couldn't stand the way he talked in sentence fragments. It just couldn't grab my attention. "

    " The story was fast-paced but the sentence fragments drove me a little nuts. I had decided about 1/3 of the way through I wouldn't bother with the sequel. But the story grew on me and I am curious... "

    " I got halfway through and finally had enough. It was taking forever to get anywhere, and the main character was too--pardon my French--horny for my liking. Waste of money and precious time. I only give it one star because it was exciting in the first few chapters. "

    " Besides the characters being a bit generic, it's action-packed and moves at a fast pace. High schooler being chased by bat creatures pairs up with ninja babe and telepathic dog to save the world. Perfect if you don't want to think too much. "

    " The separation of Jack from PJ and his family is tough. But the progression of his friendships with Gisco and Eko is pretty awesome. Also, the fact that the book ties in environmental awareness is really cool. Klass does a great job of tying the story together. "

    " Firestorm is the first book in a science fiction trilogy. It has the distinction of being the first book to be endorsed by Greenpeace. This is thanks to the strong environmental message of the story. The author does a good job of describing some of the environmental problems we currently face. "
