Invasion America Books in Order

Christie Golden's Invasion America novels are based on the animated science-fiction series. They tell a family-centered alien-invasion story, beginning with a boy who thinks he is ordinary and learns that Earth, his parents, and his own identity are far more complicated than he knew.

In Invasion America, David Carter discovers that he is the son of an alien prince and a human woman. That makes him important in the coming defense of Earth against the hostile Tyrusians, who have already infiltrated powerful human institutions.

Being chosen does not make childhood easier.

The book combines conspiracy, alien politics, and a young hero's awakening. David has to understand a heritage he never asked for while the people around him deal with an invasion that has been quietly building for years.

Invasion America 2: On the Run steps back before David's birth to tell the story of his parents. That prequel angle adds context to the main book's family secrets and shows how the human and alien sides of David's life became connected.

Start with Invasion America for David's story, then read On the Run for the earlier history of his parents and the wider conflict.
