In the midst of the Cold War, a new extraterrestrial threat emerges.

When unidentified objects over Roswell turn out to be of Martian origin, Earth scrambles to mount a defense against the looming attack. Soon the US Air Force sends its arsenal of B-29 bombers to the red planet itself, launching a campaign to destroy the Martians before they can gain a foothold on Earth.

Major Timothy Shields is a seasoned pilot commanding one of the remaining bombers, the Superfortress Betty Grable. As supplies dwindle and losses mount, Shields leads his loyal but weary crew on increasingly desperate missions into hostile alien territory. But the Martians are cunning and their technology far surpasses human invention.

When a vital bombing run goes shockingly awry, Shields begins to suspect there is more to their shape-shifting enemy than meets the eye. With invasion imminent and Mars true intentions shrouded in mystery, humanity teeters on the brink of alien domination.

Across the gulf of space, the battle between two planets is about to reach a thrilling and terrifying climax. Can Shields expose the truth about the Martians before it's too late, or will Earth succumb to the aliens it tried to destroy?

Perfect for fans of The Martian Chronicles and brings an inventive mid-century sci-fi twist to the alien invasion genre.
