    About this ebook

    The third short story in the ShadowKin tales.

    Earth lies in ruins, destroyed by an advanced alien race known as the ShadowKin. All that remains of mankind are the last few survivors, feeding off the corpse of a once-great civilisation. In a world of kill or be killed, a young man finds that not everyone has given up hope, and that some people are starting to fight back.

    A prequel to the book "The ShadowKin Assault".
