The Ninth Metal (Comet Cycle #1) Benjamin Percy (Mariner Books)
It began with a comet… At first, people gazed in wonder at the radiant tear in the sky. A year later, the celestial marvel became a planetary crisis when Earth spun through the comet’s debris field and the sky rained fire. The town of Northfall, Minnesota will never be the same.

Growing up in Dededo, Mecate would practice taekwondo and watch his heroes on TV perform tornado and spinning kicks. As a teenager, he flipped through magazines showcasing martial arts masters and dreamed of calling himself an actor.
