For years he's pursued evidence that extraterrestrial life is not new to Earth, but has left its footprints in the archeological records over and over again. For years, he was dismissed as a fool. But now the spheres have arrived and Benjamin has found his vindication ... along with troubling theories as to what it all means.Benjamin's research facility rests on a paranormal hotspot in Moab, Utah - but Vail, Colorado is where his interests lie. He's sent an emissary to Meyer Dempsey's ranch to find the answer to a question: What makes the Missing Nine so special to the planet's silent invaders?

And what, as the motherships again begin to move like pieces finding positions on a chessboard, will happen next?...and it will all happen again.Vail and Moab, Moab and Vail - two epicenters in the cold alien war. The locations' fates (and the fates of those bunkered at each) seem somehow intertwined as Earth's clock ticks toward midnight.

Humanity must find the value of those who have been taken ... or become mere fossil evidence for the archaeologists of the future to puzzle over.This relentless, page-turning tale of first contact is the second book in the completed Alien Invasion series.
