Ryan Peek is the author of the Young Adult Sci-Fi book series 'Holding the Fort'. The series is based on an idea he's had for a long time. Or possibly, it's based on the true story of him and his friends thwarting a robot rebellion while living near a secret military research facility during the summer before eighth grade. Either way, whatever you believe, he hopes this book teaches you never to turn your back on the machines. The author lives in Indiana with his wife, Erika, and two genius cats (Holly and Pippi) who now really hate it whenever he uses the word 'cannot' and tilts his head at just the right angle. www.ryanpeek.comwww.facebook.com/ryanpeekbooks
"""The plot is an addictive mixture of low-key adolescent character moments, creepy mystery, and adrenalized heroics...A page-turning tale with engrossing, high-stakes action."" - Kirkus Reviews ""There's no shortage of excitement and thrills in the Holding the Fort series, and Ryan Peek writes with a blend of tension and humor that I love. The plot never flags, and the characters are authentic and compelling. Ethan Tate and his friends -- and enemies -- are sure to please readers of all ages."" - Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author"
