They have come... The skies over major cities all around the world have grown dark. Massive crafts from space block the sun, and the inhabitants of these ships want Earth for their own. They have made their demands, and they are more frightening than anyone could have ever imagined. They are the Oppressors. They will test every last human and send the victors to a new planet to begin again, never to see their friends or loved ones. But only a small percentage of Earth's inhabitants can go. Chaos ensues. Children are pulled from their parents, terrified, screaming for their lives. Many of the weak are killed outright. If humans try to hide, they are wiped out without a second thought, or even a drop of compassion. The vulnerable humans watch their own destruction with dismay and disbelief. Josh Nichols works at the Pentagon writing code, and his newfound love, Kamryn Reynolds, a brilliant computer hacker. Now, her genius and his skill are the last hopes for the people of Earth. But what will their solution cost them, and what will it cost their love?
