CARLTON CASEY: ALIEN INCIDENT

A NEW BOOK BY NICK HILL

The Characters...

Carlton Casey-15yr old boy who is always up for adventure. With good looks and quick wits, Carlton is constantly surrounded by girls and he is the most popular boy in town.  Athletic, tough and kind hearted, Carlton often finds himself sticking up for the little guy, or little guys in the case of the twins Peanut and Jam Jam.  With a lot going for him, Carlton appreciates the finer details in life but he is not without his troubles.  Believing he is to blame for the death of his father, Carlton often has terrible haunting nightmares.  Alone with his mom, he is weary of any boyfriends that she brings home and Carlton acknowledges that he often thinks of his father as still alive. 

The Twins--These two are so crazy, they have their own link! See link on homepage for more info on the twosome of terror. 

Crazy Harry- Former war hero turned psycho.  Crazy Harry wasn't always so crazy.  While in the military after a successful rescue mission, Harry was given the chance to return back home to the U.S. to see his new born son if he took an untested drug that was designed to protect soldiers from chemical warfare.  Harry jumped at the chance to see his firstborn.  Unfortunately for Harry, the drug proved near fatal and left him in a psychosis state.  The military returned Harry to the U.S. and dumped him off in an unknown location.  Crazy Harry, with his amped up strength, continues to go after anyone who should cross his path in the woods where he lives.  This includes Carlton Casey and the twins, who have crossed his path all too often.  While Carlton always feels some remorse for Harry, other kids torment him any way they can.  During the ALIEN INCIDENT, Harry seemingly is killed by one of the aliens...but Crazy Harry has been left for dead before!

The Aliens-Standing 3ft tall, these aliens have large eyes and even larger claws.  They do not speak and seemingly do not care for human life.  Although their motives are unclear, the one thing that was certain to Carlton and his friends was that they had every intent on killing anyone who encountered them.  They also 'tagged' one of the twins, implanting a tracking device into Peanut's forearm.  What they have planned for Peanut is unclear at this time...

Vinny Wade--Son of Fred Wade and Carlton's good friend.  Although everyone thinks of Vinny as the biggest nerd in school, Carlton sympathizes with him and befriends him, even sticking up for him from time to time. Often quiet and always looking to avoid any trouble, Vinny has been known to explode on his friends after being beaten by his father. Vinny is terrified of his over-bearing, dictator father, but also realizes the man is his father and he respects him for that. What happens to Vinny after the 'ALIEN INCIDENT' proves disasterous, and Carlton has no idea what the future lies for his booksmart friend. 

Quentin--Carlton's best friend. Quentin is probably Carlton's closest, most trusting friend.  He's another cool dude who often goes on double dates with Carlton, mostly hoping to hook up with one of Carlton's 'rejected' girlfriends. Quentin is the only one who Carlton shows the alien crash site to, and he even shows him the items he found. However, unbeknownst to Carlton, Quentin's older brother rats out Carlton's location and he is subsequently 'hopped' by one of the vicious gangs that have been hunting Carlton. The events that took place during the 'pool massacre' are so horrifying that no one ever mentions it again.

Fred Wade--Vinny's dad. No doubt sick in the head, Fred Wade often beats poor 'Vincent' senseless for no reason at all. Mr.Wade is brilliant in the realm of science but has no interest in serving man-kind.  Instead, he is driven by an uncanny attempt to have total world domination, if he can get away with. After torturing his long-time nemisis Carlton Casey, Wade is confident that with the alien items he can indeed, finally, rule the world. In his arrogance though, he forgets about a certain pair of twins....
