Team Captain: Alexander Donson

To reach the stars, he must bring a team together. Alexander Donson, the newest transfer to the Intergalactic Civilian Defense Agency's HQ, has always had his eyes to the stars. By joining HQ, he finally has access to space ships that can take him across the galaxy on a whim—an easy feat for someone as skilled and promising as him. But to get a ship he needs to form a team, and his two prospects aren't exactly top-tier—particularly Danielle, the brilliant tech specialist everyone warns him against. Danielle Stanon is a master of her craft, a genius with a computer. She had the unique distinction of being the youngest Technical Specialist to ever join the Agency's #1 team—until the team's captain kicked her off of it. Since then, she hasn't been able to stay on a squad for any length, thanks to her former captains' bruised egos tainting the rest of the Agency's view of her. She may have found a glimmer of hope, though, in the newest transfer to HQ, a confident, hot-shot captain who thinks he knows it all—just the kind of person Danielle despises. Forging a team under these circumstances won't be easy, but neither can fail. This may be the last chance Danielle has to prove she's not the waste of space everyone thinks she is, and without a team, Alex will never be able to explore the galaxy to find the keys to recover his missing past. They'll have to figure out how to work together—even as she wishes she could tear him apart. Book #1 in the science fiction books series for teens: the Intergalactic Civilian Defense Agency Files.
