Description
A huge alien ship screamed into the solar system at a speed near the speed of light. It decelerated into orbit around Earth, leaving devastation in its wake. From the distant mining weigh stations beyond the orbit of Pluto to the big trading posts in the asteroid belt lie shattered habitats and ships. Tens of thousands of people are dead. But the deceleration field around the alien ship completely disrupted all human radio traffic, so no warning could be sent.
Victor Delgado tried to get the warning to Earth, traveling alone in a fast ship designed to carry only messages. He nearly died getting his message to humanity's homeworld. And he made it ahead of the aliens; but no one believed him. No one believed him until the Formic ship arrived and began raining destruction on China.
