Publisher Description

While Howard To has always been on the geeky side, there's one girl who brings him out of his shell. Unfortunately, she's Hollywood's hottest sci-fi star and about as likely to cross Howard's path as he is likely to be struck by lightning. But when the starlet is hounded by a stalker who uses a drone to spy on her private life, Howard sees his chance to be a knight in shining armor. He employs his own drone to engage in aerial combat with the stalker's UAV, despite complaints from Parker, a fellow Drone Academy member. In the process, Howard also realizes his chance at romance may be closer to home than he realizes. . . .
