A novella introducing the Octagon Concept Series. Ruthless businessman Jack Dashwood is the patriarch of the Dashwood family and heads up a multi-billion dollar global company. Jack's grandson, Jonathan, begins a day release at the company and unwittingly becomes drawn into his grandfather's sinister business dealings.
Shocked at the revelations, Jonathan tries to find a way to stop the destructive global events from unfolding. He finds himself caught up in a web of lies, afraid of what might happen to his father, mother and sister if he doesn't agree to help his grandfather.
When his grandfather's business partner, a reptilian shapeshifter, calls on three men to kill his father and retrieve a lost disc drive containing advanced nuclear technology, Jonathan tries to stop them but is kidnapped. He escapes and goes in search of his family. He doesn't know if his father is dead or alive. He can't contact his mother or his sister.

While unusual and interesting, the novel concept disappointed me on the whole. The point of view of the young lad came through well and should appeal to others of that age, although I would prefer stronger writing. And what teen boy has no friends, cooks for his sister, and invests his time in complying with his elders instead of rebelling? Okay, he sneaks around behind their backs, gathering information, but the alien transformers he meets don't shock him the way I would expect.Worst of all, the novel has no end. While the strange goings on kept my interest, it was shattered at the end when the plot cut out right at a critical point. I know nothing unless I buy the next book, which I have no intention of doing.
