Mythological artifacts become a contemporary arsenal in a millennia-long interstellar battle. Using one aspect stands the alien race that designed itself as gods to secretly steer human being evolution. Around the other can be an elite team of Area 51 commandos, dedicated to freeing humanity off their interstellar overlords. Unique Forces officer Mike Turcotte and his previous fan Lisa Duncan are among the few who find out the reality about the extraterrestrial threat – and also have the power to fight it. But can they save the people from eradication or just act as pawns in an complex plot to enslave the planet? Having simply retrieved the renowned sword Excalibur – in most cases the control essential for an alien mother dispatch – from atop Mount Everest, Turcotte rejoins the battle, intent on closing the ancient, bloody conflict once and for all. Yet even while he tries to avert a nuclear holocaust, a deadlier, more insidious alien foe hides in the shadows, waiting for the chance to alert its kind that Globe is normally ripe for conquest.
