The alien is changing the world, and she's not nearly finished. Falling from the sky, a creature arrived more powerful than anything imagined on Earth: Morena, an alien Queen banished from her home world. Now, she's ready to start again, repopulating the world with her species. The government's first defense failed to stop the alien. Turning to one of the smartest men to ever live, they ask Kenneth Marks to save the world. Except as Marks assesses the situation, he understands he can gain more by helping the alien . . . even if it means damning humanity. Bryan, Michael, and Julie remain caught in the midst of this war, unable to escape and unable to stop it. Morena's time has nearly arrived and Earth will never be the same . . .
