The Third Rescue
A YA Sci-fi Adventure
An assignment becomes a quest which reveals a secret…
CJ’s ancestry project gets off to a bad start—something’s wrong with his DNA test. Then he decides to search for his grandmother’s parentage, despite her claim that she is an orphan. How hard could it be? He’s joined by his cousin Penny and his buddy Oval as his search takes him to Las Vegas, where they run into nothing but dead ends until they meet a peculiar old man who seems to know something about CJ’s family. And who is following them?
In a separate storyline, in 1964 Gus, CJ’s grandfather, is on a mission for the mob when he becomes involved in a strange gun battle in the desert. A mysterious young woman comes running to him from out of the dark, yelling, “help me, help me.”
Years before, a military doctor is working in the base emergency room when several plane crash victims are brought in. He knows immediately that these are not normal patients, but he has no idea how his life will be changed forever.
When these storylines intersect, CJ will find himself in conflict with a 70-year-old secret, and he, his family. and his friends will be in mortal danger.

It was a great story with some sci-fi elements that enhanced the story but didn't make it feel like a typical sci-fi book.
I didn't really know what to expect going into this one but I was pleasantly surprised. The story moved along at just the right speed to keep me interested.
The Sci-fi elements are well done and relatively subtle so as to not be over the top and in your face.

Excellently written thriller with great twists and turns! Loved it from chapter one and read it in a surprisingly short amount of time. As an avid sci-fi and fantasy reader I cannot recommend it enough!

An outstanding thriller that weaves the past and present with twists and turns and great character development. A surprise waiting at the end as a teenager discovers his ancestry and the secrets of his family history. A compelling read.
