Description (Author's Website)
Daniel X takes on the wildest threat the world has ever seen—someone whose craving for fame could destroy the planet!
LIGHTS
All's quiet in the small town of Holliswood. Television sets, computers, and portable devices are aglow in every home, classroom, and store. Yet not all is perfect. Evil is lurking, just out of sight, behind the screen.
CAMERA
Residing in this sleepy town is a villain with more ambition than the world can withstand. Twisted beyond reason, he is dead set on throwing Holliswood into chaos and documenting the destruction of every person in it, including Daniel X.
EXTERMINATION
The only person who can stop this made-for-TV tyrant, Daniel must use his extraordinary power to save the town. But this devilish director has assembled an all-star team of his own creation and vows to stage the most spectacular finale the world has ever seen. Can Daniel X stop this deranged outlaw—or will he find himself on the cutting room floor?

Review
This book was rollicking good fun page after page! This second installment in the Daniel X series will not disappoint it's fans. I'm not the biggest sci fi fan, but this book was one imaginative alien/monster fight after another and was nothing else but great fun. This book made me wish I had kids to get interested in this series. You won't be disappointed and neither will your young readers. This is the best kind of end of summer escapism!
