Pathbreaker
To the aliens, he’s the Pathbreaker. To Lawrence High, he’s the kid in the detention closet.
Jake Hines stopped an attack on his school with his bare hands. His reward? Weeks of in-school suspension, locked in a tiny pink room he had to repaint himself just to stay sane.
So he makes the best of it. He sneaks in before dawn to build the drama club’s flying rig. He ends up teaching math at the middle school, because they’ve nearly run out of teachers. And he still gets the cows fed before first bell.
Then night falls, and the real job begins.
An alien summit is coming to the base, and every race at the table has an opinion about humanity. The Coalition of Worlds has run the numbers on Earth, and the likeliest futures are let humans in, or wipe them out. Jake survived their test, a gauntlet of warped and splintered time that left him gasping on the floor. His reward this time? Translator, troubleshooter and, somehow, the guy in charge of dessert.
Reptilian assassins. Teenagers turned into weapons by voices in their heads. A visiting vampire who needs to borrow a cow. And the President of the United States, who seems personally determined to keep Jake punished.
Jake can handle alien super soldiers and broken time. Making it through one more school week might be harder.
Pathbreaker is Book 8 of Behind the Wall, the science fiction and fantasy series of aliens, vampires, magic and one overbooked fifteen-year-old who just wants everyone to live until Friday. If you haven’t met Jake yet, start with Cul-De-Sac.
Open Pathbreaker, because the aliens are already taking their seats, and Jake still has candy to make.

About the author
P.S. Power
195 books294 followersP.S. Power works in fiction, mainly focusing on Fantasy, Science Fiction and Horror genres, with brief forays into other things just to keep life interesting. He averages 1 to 2 books monthly and has several series going. He lives in an isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere, as a recluse, yet still manages to find time to talk to people online, in a positive and delightful manner. Not one of those creepy hermit types though, you understand. It's more of an isolated farm style thing. Or ranch really. He's also interested in three dimensional photography, and long moonlit walks on the beach, sometimes with vampires. When he can find time he also does writing and voice work for scripted online programs. Anyway, feel free to drop him a line.

Hello Everyone!
In chatting with Dale over the past few weeks, it was decided that he was interested in blogging to you, his readers. The blog he had within the main site was not going to be a viable solution and there were thoughts of just creating a Forum where only he could post and everyone else could reply. This MOD is a nice meeting of the two for what will hopefully be a highly successful blog!
Hoping this first (and only) post by me will kick off a nice method of interaction with Dale's readers!

p.s. - Also going to try and get the feed that comes with this to feed into Amazon and Goodreads. Good luck to one and all!!

Awesome
This latest addition to the series was great! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. I would like to ask you to do what I did. Buy a copy. You won't be sorry.
