All three books in the Young Chesterton Chronicles series by John McNIchol
Book 1: The Tripods Attack:
Sixteen-year-old Gilbert Chesterton is orphaned and friendless, stuck working a menial job in grimy turn-of-the-century London. Then one night strange lights fill the sky and a hail of giant meteors crashes into a field outside the city. The next day Gilbert is amazed to find himself hired by a newspaper and rushed out to investigate the scene. Is it a harmless natural phenomenon, or the first wave of an alien invasion?
Gilbert soon learns he's not the only one asking that question, and he's joined by three strangers with their own interest in the fantastic events.
- Herb Wells, a journalist for rival paper. Affable, streetwise, and self-confident, Herb's only too happy to teach young Gilbert the ways of the world. But when it comes to getting the story (and the fame), he warns it's every many for himself.
- The Doctor, an enigmatic bearded man, is suave, cultured, and friendly--maybe too friendly. And he know things about the cosmic visitors . . . things no ordinary man should know. How much he's hiding is anybody's guess.
- Father Brown, a short, mild, middle-aged priest with an extraordinary talent for solving mysteries. Gilbert doesn't know much about Christ or the Church, but Father Brown will teach him lessons of faith, love, and courage.
Book 2: The Emperor of North America:
IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU...
It's been over a year since Gilbert Keith Chesterton and his friends defeated the Martian tripod invasion in the first book of the Young Chesterton Series (Tripods Attack!). Since then, he has a new faith, a new job, and a new love- a beautiful heiress named Frances. Life couldn't be better.
But then things begin to go very wrong. Gilbert's best friend Herb becomes wealthy and evasive. A mysterious redheaded woman from their past adventures resurfaces, with trouble following close behind her. Gilbert has to flee to America, where a powerful man calling himself The Emperor of North America has taken unexplained interest in Gilbert's future.
Worst of all, Gilbert learns that America may be no safer than England. For it is in America that both he and Herb will confront their most dangerous foes yet.
Themselves.
Book 3: Where Red Sands Fly:
…WE HAVE THINGS TO FINISH…
In the last two years Gilbert Keith Chesterton has seen London burned by Martians, been shot at by steam cowboys, and had his first kiss interrupted by flying assassins with machine guns. He’s ridden atop a giant robot shaped like Abraham Lincoln as it stomped through New York City, was kidnapped by an emperor, led a revolution and was dropped into the Potomac by the girl who broke his heart and then his nose.
And right after that, his best friend shot him in the chest to save his life.
Then, things got interesting.
Learning that he has long-lost family in the British colonies on Mars, Gilbert must make a journey he never expected so he can meet siblings he never knew existed. With the help of a young military officer named Hilaire Belloc, he’ll make and lose friends, lose and find love, and win victories and defeats as he makes his last, desperate attempt to save two worlds from the clutches of evil men.
Most challenging of all: even if the day is won, the fight won’t be over for another twenty years…
