Survival of the fittest takes on new meaning in this action packed adventure series about a remarkable colony of mice. Long ago, the creatures of Megiddo struggled for survival, forced to burrow in order to escape the harsh landscape and savage beasts who roamed the surface. But all of this changed when a colony of mice happened upon a mysterious shard from a fallen star buried deep underground. This "blessing from the sky" forever changed the mice's fate, granting them long life and advanced knowledge. In time, more shards were discovered by the colony further enhancing their strength and abilities. They became Mech Mice, guardians of good and protectors of innocent creatures everywhere. Today, the Great Colony flourishes but there are some who wish to control the shards and use their power for a darker purpose. Only the Mech Mice stand between the forces of evil who seek to rule Megiddo with an iron paw. Book 1 Summary: "Ears up, Mice!"
