An exciting and original debut sci-fi adventure trilogy for the gaming generation, from a screenwriter, film critic and gamer.

Fifteen-year-old girl gamer Casey Henderson is obsessed with smash-hit game SkyWake – and she’s good at it, too. Little does she realize it’s actually an alien training tool created by an evil extra-terrestrial race. When the aliens swoop down on a national gaming tournament, Casey and her teammates discover they’re abducting the best gamers to fight in a distant alien war across the galaxy. And they’ve got her brother. Casey’s gaming skills are her best hope of stopping the aliens – but first she and her online teammates must learn to work together in real life…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When Jamie was five, he saw a Space Invaders arcade machine. It blew his mind and started a lifelong love of videogames.

After graduating from London University, Jamie became a film critic for the BBC and contributing editor for Total Film magazine. He was sent to special movie screenings and fed free sandwiches. He thought it was the best job ever.

But he was wrong…

A little later, he wrote for videogame magazine EDGE and realised that you could actually get paid for shooting aliens in the face with shotguns.

Since then he has worked as a screenwriter, speechwriter and as a narrative consultant for a big US tech company that swore him to secrecy. He has written several non-fiction books on everything from zombies to videogames.

His fiction debut is the SKY WAKE trilogy for readers 9+ beginning in July 2021. It's a story about videogames, aliens and what it takes to be a leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for getting gamers reading! Fast paced, thought provoking - all round fantastic read!

I’ve been teaching for 17 years and I’m definitely recommending this to all middle and high school teachers for their class libraries. Seldom is a YA book so engaging, well crafted and written with real literary style. Non-readers and gamers will be hooked on this book and hopefully turn into readers!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not very original
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2021
Ender's Game? Yep, the main gist (video game training becomes training for real war) is the same. If you like Ender's Game and don't mind borrowed plots, give it a try.

As my 12-year-old daughter said the author "really knows GZ". Having 3 girls we loved the unlikely heroine Casey with her bubblegum hair and the relationship between her brother and online friends. However, the relationship is put to the test when they have to fight the aliens for real. The book is well written, fast-paced, original and, exciting. Children will readily relate to it as they inhabit the virtual world that the story is set in. It was difficult to put down and we can't wait for the sequel!

What a smashing story, with great characters and lots of action. My grandchildren thought it brilliant and I share their enthusiasm. I learned so much about video games and their attraction for youngsters. I was sorry when I reached the end but now looking forward to the next books in the Skywake series.

Billed as a book for kids who are too busy on Minecraft to read Harry Potter…!
Loved the book, characters and themes. Will especially appeal to gamers and sci-if fans. Great gift for any 9+ year olds. As a 40+ year-old, I loved it too!

I bought this book for an 11 year old. I don't know anything about computer games, but I did enjoy the story. It has humour, tells of love for a little brother and friends, and is full of excitement and derring-do!
