Indian Hill is about an ordinary boy who grows up in relatively normal
times but who finds himself thrust into an extraordinary position.
Growing up in suburban Boston, Michael enjoys the trials and
tribulations that all adolescents go through, from the seemingly
tyrannical mother, to girl problems, to run-ins with the law. From there
he escapes to college out in Colorado with his best friend, Paul, where
they begin to forge new relationships with those around them. It is one
girl in particular that has caught Michael's eye, and he alternately
pines for her and laments ever meeting her.
It is on their true "first" date that things go strangely askew. This is
where the story truly takes a paranormal twist. Mike soon finds himself
captive aboard an alien vessel, fighting for his very survival. The
aliens have devised gladiator-type games. The games are of two-fold
importance for the aliens: one is their entertainment value, and the
other is that the aliens want to see how combative humans are, what our
weaknesses and strengths are. They want to better learn how to attack
and defeat us. The battles are to the death on varying terrains that are
computer-generated.
Follow Mike and Paul as they battle for their lives and try to keep the
US safe, in the first book of Mark Tufo's Indian Hill series.
