BOOK III: THE RESISTANCE

The invasion was swift, relentless, and brutal in its totality, and in its aftermath, the human race is left teetering on the brink of extinction. The onslaught annihilated the military forces of the world and obliterated each and every sovereign nation occupying the planet. Nothing and no one withstood a chance in the face of the merciless and uncompromising aggressors. The professional soldiers, warriors, and mercenaries of the world fought bravely and courageously, but it was all for naught. The planet’s infrastructure has been decimated, precious works of art and timeless pieces of literature have been vaporized in the blink of an eye, and mankind’s historic monuments and breathtaking towers of technological progress have been toppled. In a post-invasion world, human beings have been relegated to the outermost edges of the planet, their numbers few and their prospects dim. Roving patrols of “death squads” scour the earth, seeking human survivors for sport to hunt and subsequently kill. When it seemed that no one would be willing to expel the invaders and reclaim the planet on behalf of humanity, when it seemed no one could possibly rescue mankind from the bottomless chasm of obliteration where its light would be extinguished forever, one man stepped in to fill the void. Finally, at long last, a resistance has formed.
