Overview
In the Top-Secret town of Blackwoods, Wyoming, a group of young teens desperately tries to warn military authorities about a mysterious 'Fatal Error' that will enable a malicious artificial intelligence to take over the world. Ethan Tate and his Team Blackwoods squad have had to save the world before -- though they were the only ones to know about it -- and they're hoping they don't have to do it again. But when the military gets their warning, they put the town on lockdown, and then life at Blackwoods begins to get truly bizarre. The adults in the town start acting very strangely. Have the machines been unleashed upon the town once again, though this time in a most insidious and all-too-personal way? Could all the kids' parents possibly be robotic replicates? Ethan and his team, along with a most unlikely ally, must find a way to turn back this latest existential threat to humanity...and survive some really awkward family time in the process.

Author Information
Ryan Peek is the author of the Young Adult Sci-Fi book series Holding the Fort. The series is based on an idea he's had for a long time. Or possibly, it's based on the true story of him and his friends thwarting a robot rebellion while living near a secret military research facility during the summer before eighth grade. Either way, whatever you believe, he hopes this book teaches you never to turn your back on the machines. The author lives in Indiana with his wife, Erika, and two genius cats (Holly and Pippi) who now really hate it whenever he uses the word 'cannot' and tilts his head at just the right angle. www.ryanpeek.com
