They arrived without warning, raining death and chaos across the surface of the Earth. Humanity fought back, and although we didn't win, we did cripple them, fighting them to a standstill on the planet and in orbit. Now, more than a hundred years later, the world is a very different place. Technology varies wildly from region to region, as does which race dominates the other. After so many decades of d tente, the enemy is once more on the move, not just against the surviving enclaves of humanity but also against members of their own species. In a small town on the shores of Lake Michigan, a young man with a family relic represents humanity's best hope to counter the alien advance. Aided by friends, family, and a nearly godlike computer surviving on the moon, Owen Erindale stands between a new dawn and the Long Night.
