PRELUDE

HIJACKED !!! 


Plucked off the ocean and held captive aboard a spacecraft, Maggie Kestler and the crew of the Sally's Pride become helpless pawns in an alien invasion.  Earth is next in a long line of “acquisitions” by K’Laadian forces.


Khreseea, K’Laadia’s mission specialist, is clever and manipulative. She hopes to prove to her superiors that Maggie's crew can be used to coerce Earth into peaceful surrender. General H’Saishat, military leader of their expedition, has his own designs. He is studying the skills and tactics of a company of US Army Rangers, whose plane they’ve also hijacked. Together they will use everything they learn to humiliate and beat humanity when the acquisition begins.


Maggie's crew has little time to warn Earth. An attempt seems futile and might cost them their lives. But failure will cost them the Earth. They plot, but their final solution could challenge all their beliefs, as they hurtle toward a strange new reality... for the K'Laadian threat may not be the greatest danger facing mankind.
