D-Day, June 6, 1944: the most expansive military endeavor in history. No less than world cooperation would bring down Hitler and the Axis powers. And so people - and kids - across the globe lent their part. From the young US soldiers in the boats to spies in the French countryside, the coordination of thousands came together. Alan Gratz, author of the New York Times best-selling Refugee, explores the necessity of teamwork and heroism in dismantling tyranny in this epic, yet personal, look at D-Day in time for the 75th anniversary of the operation.

Al-Khidr, a medieval alchemist, is awestruck when he discovers a mysterious metallic sphere inside a pyramid. His curiosity catapults him through space and time to an alien planet called Lyra, where he learns that aliens consider Earth a cursed planet, and the pyramids on Earth were built by them. The queen wants to send the human back to Earth to bring a cure to the Mutmut disease. But a rebellion breaks out! With danger looming, a short time frame, and his life on the line, Al-Khidr has to do what he thinks is right and just.

Al-Khidr’s destiny has brought him back to the planet Lyra, which was as beautiful and majestic as it was before, but this time there was something odd about it. Apart from delivering the Lyrians the precious cure for the Mutmut disease, Al-Khidr must now find out what has happened in his absence, before it’s too late. Not being able to find his friends, he starts looking for clues with a racing heart. On the other hand, Hatathor is set to finally get his revenge and is hunting Al-Khidr relentlessly. Will Hatathor catch Al-Khidr?

Al-Khidr was inside the Hall of Stars, and now he was moving inside a wormhole—a cosmic tunnel that opened up right above the Hall of Stars was spiraling down through galaxies like a coiled serpent from planet Lyra toward Earth. He was unaware of the alien major General Hatathor, who was also sucked into the wormhole due to his own act of charging sequence disruption. Where the wormhole was leading? None of them knew. But the one thing sure to the aliens was that the jump was going to happen both in time and space.
