    About this ebook

    We had no idea what was out there, waiting in the dark reaches of space.
    Earth's glorious civilization has come to a screeching halt. Like Rome or Egypt it is now all but crumbling ruins. No movies, baseball games, or music. A full stomach, a good night’s sleep, and hope are things of the past. Scrambling to save themselves from annihilation, the use of weaponry and cunning became top priority. Now the people of Earth have just one agenda: hunt, kill, and hide or face extinction while battling the hordes of immense hungry aliens that love the taste of human flesh. But humanity’s best efforts are useless against such indomitable forces. Despairing and defeated, Earth's few steadfast fighting men and women stranded on a small river island in Alabama discover hope for Earth's rescue from an outrageously unexpected source.
