The Human Disguise

The world has been shattered.  Disease and war have ravaged the Earth.  A resurgent Germany once again threatens Europe, and the United States is engaged in the Middle-East while New York sits, an empty, radioactive ruin. The city of Miami has become a virtual prison, home to the worst life has to offer.  Detective Tom Wilner lives on the outskirts of this forsaken realm.  With his family slipping away from him, Wilner is just a pale version of the war hero he once was.  When a chance encounter in a rundown roadhouse erupts in violence, Wilner is forced to step in.  His exploration into the violence of that evening leads him to a terrifying truth: We are not alone.  There are other, ancient, warring races on the planet.  They have been manipulating power and control on Earth for centuries, and are about to enter into a battle for ultimate supremacy.  Our world, their war.  Unless Tom Wilner can summon the courage he once had and stop them.
