Black Triumph, DuBois Brendan

THE WAR FOR THE FUTURE OF EARTH IS ON

Sixteen-year-old Randy Knox, a newly minted lieutenant in the U.S. Army, has been fighting the alien Creepers since he was twelve. At one point, it seemed the war would be over when the aliens orbital battle station had been destroyed. But now a second Creeper orbital battle station has arrived. While returning to his home unit, Randys convoy is ambushed. Separated from his fellow soldiers and his K-9 companion, Thor, Randy faces the ultimate horror of every American serviceman of his time: to become a prisoner of war of the aliens.

Forced into a two-front war fighting both the attacking creepers and saboteurs within his own ranks, Randy learns how far he will go to protect those he loves and defeat the Creeper menace.
