Battle For Forever: Prelude (Book 1) (The Eternals) (Volume 1)

Okay, first off, if you’re reading this, I’m breaking about a dozen rules here. Easy. I’ll probably get grounded for it. And by grounded, I don’t mean I’ll have to stay in my room unable to go out the next twenty-five Saturday nights, I mean, grounded. Into dust. And buried under a thousand pounds of rock.

That kind of grounded.

But I need help, and the only way to convince you and everyone else to give me that help is to tell you my story.

The fact that you’re reading this means that, at least where you are, people can still print things or electronically disseminate information. You’re alive. You might even have electricity. I hate to tell you, I’m not sure how long that’s going to last.

You see, they have a plan. And believe me when I say this, time is on their side.

Someone once told me my name means “the defender of mankind.” Unfortunately, it may actually come to that.

My name is Alexander Grant. I’m a sophomore at Monument High.

Today is my birthday. And at precisely 3:16 this afternoon, I turn fifteen—

—hundred years old.

-------------

Alexander Grant is about to take his 3000th history test. You know how you feel like you’ve been going to school for a thousand years? Well, he actually has. No one in his school has any idea that—although he looks like a normal teenager—he’s actually 1500 years old. Not the girl he likes. Not his best friend. No one. That is until someone tries to kidnap Alexander and use him as bait to catch the only person capable of stopping a plan that would change the world forever.

Ingenious storytelling. Fresh. Funny. Thought provoking. Screenwriter and novelist Edward Savio's ongoing epic adventure created to entertain his own kids...is now being released for the rest of us.

Battle For Forever: Prelude is the first book in The Eternals series.
