Faced with an alien invasion, humans must decide who they can trust to
survive
A science fiction novel set in the near future. On a lovely summer
evening, naval officer Robert Hancock and his daughter, Melissa, look up
to see a space battle between alien spaceships taking place in orbit
above Earth. Astronaut Kay Youngs and engineer Usha Vasthare have a much
closer view from the International Space Station. When one of the alien
ships crash lands near an American city, the main characters find
themselves drawn into an ancient interstellar war. As evidence mounts
that one side in the war has been manipulating humanity for decades in
hopes of turning them into unwitting allies in their conflict, the
humans are faced with the fact that the other side is preparing an
attack to make sure there are no Earthlings left to become allies to
anyone. With time running out, the humans must decide who--if
anyone--they can trust and how they can best survive the coming storm.
