In the third book in the series, young Alien Agent Zack Gaither is sent to Mongolia to liaise with his fellow agent Vraj, whom we met in Camp Alien. Vraj's people, the Tirgizians, are exploring the area for evidence of dinosaurs, whom the Tirgizians believe to be their long-lost ancestors. Enter the Kaipa Kapa Syndicate, a mixture of bad guys, including the Gnairts who'd previously tried to kill Zack and Vraj. The syndicate kidnaps the Tirgizians, and with the help of two local Mongolian kids, Zack and Vraj manage to free them and avoid being discovered.

      Gr 3-5-A search for kidnapped alien dinosaurs in a Mongolian mountain cave and laser gun battles against a crime syndicate of aliens provide readers with plenty of action and cliff-hangers. Zack Gaither is an Earth-based alien secret agent in training for the Galactic Union, a group that plans for peaceful contact with Earth in the future. Joining him on an expedition through parts of the Gobi Desert are two new friends, Jargul and Segi, and the "big, toothy sarcastic velociraptor dinosaur" cadet Vraj; her parents are among those kidnapped. The missing reptiles are Tirgizian scientists out to prove that Earth was their mother home millions of years ago. With Zack's ability to talk with desert animals, the four piece together clues. Using the victims as ransom, the kidnappers want to force the Galactic Union to relinquish its plans. Gorman's hilarious cartoon illustrations help keep the merriment rolling along. Fans of Jon Scieszka's "Time Warp Trio" series (HarperCollins) who also enjoy science fiction are apt to chuckle over Zack's hilarious escapades."James K. Irwin, formerly at Salt Lake County Library Services, UT"

      It's aliens versus...other aliens in this third book in the series. Undercover boy/alien Zack is sent with his parents to Mongolia to help fellow alien-agent Vraj. Vraj's colleagues have been searching for fossils from creatures they believe to be their original ancestors, captured by enemy aliens, the Kiapa Kapa Syndicate. Oddities abound in this convoluted but humorous adventure.
