Undertow The Undertow Trilogy Michael Buckley Books

UNDERTOW is book one in a trilogy. Lyric Walker lives in Coney Island which has been invaded by Alpha who came out of the sea. Those who could afford to fled the area. Walls have been built and the Army and National Guard have been mobilized to guard the borders. Lyric's father is a police officer but he isn't why they have stayed. Lyric's mother is an Alpha who was sent secretly to learn about humans. They were abandoned and formed families with humans. Now most of those who didn't abandon their human families when the Alpha arrived have disappeared either into the Alpha world or into internment camps on the human side where they are being experimented on and tortured.

Lyric's mother won't flee until she finds out what happened to her family. Lyric and her father won't leave without her. Lyric has learned to keep her head down and blend in. But that isn't going to work for much longer. It has been decided that some Alpha kids are going to go to Lyric's school and Lyric has been chosen to be the buddy of Fathom who is the Alpha crown prince.

Tensions are rising both inside the school and outside it. Human protesters who are being incited by radical Governor Bachman are clashing with the Alpha and anyone who is sympathetic to them. The new principal - Doyle - has a plan to defuse the tensions and blackmails Lyric with an offer of identity papers for her mother to go along with it. Lyric and Fathom get to know each other in their forced time together. Despite major cultural differences, Lyric falls for Fathom and he seems to return the feeling. But, talk about a hopeless romance, Lyric will be leaving Coney Island as soon as she can and Fathom already has an Alpha fiance.

Only plans are all derailed when Lyric learns that the Alpha on the beach are fleeing from a more terrible enemy and that enemy is on the way. Their scheduled arrival coincides with the Army's decision to force the Alpha to surrender and relocate to camps. Lyric and Fathom are beset on two sides by enemies.

This story was filled with action and had a particularly action-filled climax. I liked this one very much and can't wait for book 2 which is coming out in February.

Undertow The Undertow Trilogy Michael Buckley Books Reviews

WOW! What a fun book! I enjoyed every page! I was very happy to see the complicated moral and social situations that the characters found themselves in. I think it was a little "deeper" (pun intended) and more thoughtful/mature than many novels written for today's youth. I'm very excited to read book #2!
I'll be honest and say that what made me buy this book was the cover. Shallow, I know, but I'm so happy I picked up this book. The story was engaging, action-packed and even had a little romance. The book revolves around sixteen-year-old Lyric Walker. She's harboring a dangerous secret that could get her family killed. Blackmailed, she has to help teach the Alpha prince about humans. The Alpha are a different race of men and women from the sea, but they're not the worst ones. There is another race of sea creatures that have hunted the Alpha to almost extinction. However, there are the usual crackpots, human activist who wish to kill the Alpha as well. Like I said, it's very action-packed. I am anxiously waiting for the second book in the trilogy.
Easy to read, I kept forgetting what some characters looked like, but I still enjoyed the book. It is meant for young adult, but I am older and still enjoyed it.
I loved the story line, could not wait to get the second book to see what happens
Fabulous! A very vivid world and a Roller Coaster of a ride storywise. I couldn't put it down.
I enjoyed this book a lot. Really fun, and it was great to read at the beach ) The pace moves along, the action is well done, and I love the premise! Definitely recommend.
Very good read. Unique plot. The only negative was the unknown that it will be a trilogy. So now the wait for the second book in February 2016. 😭
