For thirty-five thousand years, they have remained in hiding, waiting for their chance to strike. Now on the brink of the new millennium, they are preparing to surface because it has become nearly impossible to remain in the shadows without being detected. They feel that the time has come to put in motion their strategic objective to simply take over control of the planet from the inferior Homo Sapiens.
In San Francisco, someone stalks Dr. Lawrence Shea, a member of the Suicide Club. Ultimately his assailant kills him. Another club member, Arthur Banks strongly feels that something sinister is behind Shea's death. Being a TV reporter, Artie cannot help but begin to investigate. He soon uncovers the frightening fact that another species is beginning to place in motion their action plan of superseding the humans before the habitat is fully destroyed.
Readings who have patiently been WAITING for the millennium novel need to know Frank M. Robinson has just written it. The frightening part about this novel is that it seems so real that readers will look carefully at their significant others. Picture a genuine version of The Invaders that combines the terror with a believable premise. Rod Sterling would be proud of this novel except that it could take place here and not the Twilight Zone.
