White Sands and Red Sands Nicholas Sansbury Smith

Two thrilling prequels to the bestselling Orbs series White Sands Jeff and his little brother David were normal kids; they loved video games, fighter planes, and learning to hunt with their dad. Little did they know that their lives were about to change. The boys and their father find themselves stranded in the desert when a military jet comes careening out of the sky and crashes directly into their car. Barely escaping the incident with their lives, and out of contact with the rest of the world, the trio must make the perilous journey back to civilization. But downed aircraft, stalled-out cars, and mysterious glowing blue orbs litter the desert landscape. Slowly they come to realize that the world is under attack and the civilization they once knew may no longer exist. Now the boys and their father are in a fight to survive, struggling across a barren landscape--a fight that not all will win. Red Sands Jeff and his little brother David are alone. Their parents have disappeared along with the rest of the world, replaced by glowing blue orbs and a terrifying army of aliens. But the boys are survivors. Living in the tunnels beneath the White Sands military base, escaping from hungry aliens, and searching for supplies, they hatch a plan. The boys will fight back, and before they're through, the white sands will run red with blood.
