Slaves of Aries (Paperback or Softback)

When Keegan receives his Hunter Apprentice card on his fifteenth birthday, all he wants is to go hunting with his dad. With the promise of adventure, Keegan sets out into the woods with his father, Robert. But when Robert goes missing after tracking a deer through the dense wildlife, Keegan knows he can't just wait around for something to change.

Determined to find his missing dad, Keegan puts his tracking skills to the test only to discover that humans-including his father-are being kidnapped and trafficked to an undiscovered alien planet where they are used for slave labour.

How many have been abducted by the strange, beast-like aliens holding Keegan's dad hostage? When Keegan's attempt to rescue his father goes awry, he's on his way to finding out the truth.

Stranded on a hostile planet, Keegan and his dad must forge alliances, put their survival skills to the test, and muster their courage to escape...if they ever want to see home again.
