Quickly thrust into the position of being the only one capable of saving the Earth, Zack must put aside his past life and use an array of technologies invented by his grandfather to save humanity, including robots as tall as skyscrapers, Memo Files that help him learn new subjects instantly, and airships that zip him around the lunar surface in minutes.

The Incredible Origins of the Onyx Sun is an important book now more than ever as technology plays a more pivotal role in our increasingly competitive global economy. Through a fast-paced, exciting storyline, the book engages children with the possibilities their generation will face in improving humanity through invention and technological exploration. At a time when our children are showing less interest in math and science than ever before, this book encourages them to re-engage in these subjects which are essential to technological progress. It is a fun, roller-coaster ride of a story that helps kids also understand the nature of friendships, conflict, and personal growth.

An engaging book for young readers as well as the rest of the family, the Incredible Origins of the Onyx Sun inspires all of us with visions of what life could be like as humanity spreads into the stars.
