    About this ebook

    The first short story in the ShadowKin tales.

    Earth grinds to a halt when dozens of mysterious black ships appear in its atmosphere. Not knowing whether the visitors are hostile or not, missile troops are hastily deployed to stand guard over London, ready to defend their city, and their world, from an attack by a mysterious alien race known only as the ShadowKin.

    A prequel to the book "The ShadowKin Assault".
