Alex Hidalgo's first ten years of life have been rough. His father disappeared under mysterious circumstances, his mother can't find a job, and he has recently been forced to move to a big city with his awful Uncle Roy. His new school is horrible and the other kids are mean. Despite his hardships, though, Alex always tries to do what's right. When Alex sees a pack of bullies attacking a lizard in the woods near his home, he bravely rescues the injured reptile. Before long, the lizard surprises the young boy by revealing that he is an ancient survivor from a long-dead reptilian civilization. His society came to an end by attack from ruthless invaders of the Scipion Legions, an alien force who seeks to maintain its dominance across the known universe at all costs. As Alex's scaly new friend begins to reveal his secrets to the boy, a newly arrived Scipion warship prepares to launch its first assault against human civilization. Alex's adventures take him across four continents and into deep space as the Survivors struggle to save humanity from total disaster. Among his new companions are a brilliant leopard gecko named Ketoo, an elegant water dragon known as Aira, an overly-proud tegu called Tupi, an absent-minded skink named Bluey, and a stealthy chameleon known as Talitha. When Alex begins making friends at school, a boy with bleeding problems named Ghet O'Malley joins the struggle, as does Alex's sister Katherine. Two more siblings, African immigrants named Marie and Jean Diop, complete the circle of humans who will learn the secrets of the Survivors. After gaining the trust of their new reptilian allies, Alex and his friends quickly enter a world of hidden lairs, invisible spaceships, healing robots, fearsome dinosaurs, a billion-dollar Internet company, and new ways of communicating with the natural world. The children gain abilities and powers that they never thought possible. While the Diapsids, bloodthirsty conquerors from the Scipion Legions, plot their evil schemes in deep space, the first ground battles erupt on our planet. Wormlike monsters, fearsome sea beasts, beautiful frogs, and all sorts of exotic animals take sides in the conflict. Time is running out. Will life on Earth survive, or will it be crushed by the murderous invaders?
