'Good fun. It has an authentic speculative quality, energy and dash'

At the end of WORLDWAR: STRIKING THE BALANCE, the earth has succumbed to an uneasy peace with their alien invaders. Both sides have fought each other to more or less stand-still. But what humanity has yet to grasp is that events are not so easily diverted. The lizard race's initial assault was just that - initial. The Colonistion fleet is on its way, and surely the world now lies at its mercy...

This is the first in a brand new trilogy, from the undisputed master of alternate history.
