In the meantime, Wishaway's beloved home planet of Altair seems to be hurtling toward doom. Just when circumstances on both worlds are at their most dire, members of the ancient race who built the mysterious lighthouses return to offer Jamie a terrible choice: He can save Earth or Altair, but not both. The fate of two planets is in the hands of the teenage Lord Ui Neill. Which home will he save? His or Wishaway's?</P> <P style="TEXT-INDENT: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=Maintext> </P> <P style="TEXT-INDENT: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=Maintext>The worlds that Adrian McKinty's characters inhabit are vividly real.
