Star Core Rush

Race car driver Jack Riley is betrayed by his team and plunged off a cliff. As he lies dying, he awakens Lightning, an alien Defender scout who has been dormant on Earth for eighty years. Jack and his new alien partner return to the racing circuit, but soon find themselves caught in a galactic plot as the Ironvore Legion, led by Frostfang, hunts for the Ultimate Core—a device of infinite energy. With the help of heiress Rose Cavendish and his ragtag teammates from the Anvil Racing Team, Jack and Lightning transform from isolated outcasts to leaders of a united Defender force on Earth. Their final battle rages across deserts, cities, and a massive mothership. When the human government decides to surrender, Jack and his allies prove with unwavering trust and courage that Earth’s salvation depends not on alien technology alone, but on the strength of human hearts.
