Decades of war started by a genocidal faction of aliens threatens the existence of any human or alien resisting their rule on Earth. Dani survives by scavenging enough supplies to live another day while avoiding the local military and human-hunting Wardens. But then she learns that she is part of the nearly immortal alien race of Echoes—not the human she's always thought herself to be—and suddenly nothing in her life seems certain. Following her discovery of her alien roots, Dani risks her well-being to save a boy from becoming a slave—a move that only serves to make her already-tenuous existence on the fringes of society in Maine even more unstable, and which forces her to revisit events and people from past lives she can't remember. Dani believes the only way to defeat the Wardens and end their dominance is to unite the Commonwealth's military and civilians, and she becomes resolved to play her part in this battle. Her attempts to change the bleak future facing the humans and Echoes living on Earth suffering under the Wardens will lead her to clash with a tyrant determined to kill her and all humankind—a confrontation that even her near-immortal heritage may not be able to help her survive.

      Award-winning fantasy author Campbell delves into sf with the first in a new trilogy. Near-immortal aliens from the planet Ekkoh, called Echoes, have lived on Earth disguised as humans since the 1700s, after war tore their own planet apart. When "killed," the Echoes regenerate, retaining clear memories of the previous life. In 2069, a military faction of Echoes known as Wardens launched an attack on humanity, ripping civilization apart in their attempt to dominate our world. Dani is a scavenger trying to get by in war-ravaged Maine when she learns that she is an Echo; unlike other Echoes, Dani loses her memories with each regeneration. She returns as a 10-year old, and her aging brother, Jace, raises her, informs her about her true nature, and trains her to fight. Over a decade later, she rescues a boy from a kidnapping, launching an odd alliance that takes the battle to the Wardens. Readers who enjoy a blend of action and character exploration will eagerly anticipate the next book in the trilogy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
