Everything within 5 miles of every major city on Earth crumbled to dust.
99% of humanity gone in an instant.
The Neandraton have traveled light-years from their home planet of Eden to harvest the resources of Earth.
Humanity is merely a pest that needs to be eradicated.
Cameron is struggling to maintain her status as Warlord of a group of surviving humans. With every viable food source stolen by the Neandraton, she must make deadly choices to stay in power and keep her people from starving.
When she raids a Neandraton outpost for supplies, Cameron meets one of the aliens and quickly realizes they aren’t at all what they appear to be.
If she can keep from burying a .45 caliber slug in the alien’s forehead, Cameron might be able to save humanity from extinction.
It’s possible that the story improves, but a quarter of the way through I realised it wasn’t for me. I found the whole situation totally unconvincing, it just seemed to be about Cameron shooting everybody she was supposed to be leading and I couldn’t understand why she was in charge in the first place.
I've read quite a few apocalyptic novels before but this was surpiseingly different with a strong cast of characters and protagonists. A good story line for sure.
