Here is the stunning conclusion to an epic trilogy that Children's Literature calls ''a thought-provoking sci-fi adventure with universal appeal.'' The worlds that Adrian McKinty's characters inhabit are vividly real.
In this final and most ambitious book in a wonderfully inventive trilogy, veteran interplanetary travelers Jamie and Ramsay must protect their alien friend Wishaway, now living with them on Earth, from the scrutiny of sinister forces on their own planet. In the meantime, Wishaway's beloved home planet of Altair seems to be hurtling toward doom. Just when circumstances on both worlds are at their most dire, members of the ancient race who built the mysterious lighthouses return to offer Jamie a terrible choice. He can save Earth or Altair, but not both. The fate of two planets is in the hands of the teenage Lord Ui Neill. Which home will he save? His own or Wishaway's?

About the Author:
ADRIAN MCKINTY was born and grew up in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, when terrorism in Ulster was at its height.

Dead I Well May Be was short-listed for the Crime Writers' Association Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award. He lives in Melbourne, Australia.
From Booklist:
Fans of the Lighthouse Trilogy will want to know how it all ends, but this installment takes more than 200 pages to get to the heart of the action, when Jamie, Ramsey and Wishaway teleport back to Altair and are, once again, just in time to save the city of Alden from siege. Before they leave, they encounter a comatose alien who escapes the hospital and a CIA plot to kill Jamie (a secret psychics team has foreseen that he will cause Earth to destruct). Snarky dialogue gems sparkle in an otherwise bloated fantasy. Grades 5-8. --Cindy Dobrez
