The Counterstrike

Earth is dying... Cities and landscapes that have not yet been destroyed by crashed spaceships and orbiting debris are being devastated by radiation and localized changes in the laws of physics near the alien ship remnants. While extraterrestrial spaceships divide and exploit the solar system among themselves, Europe desperately tries to preserve it's chances of survival for the remnants of humanity. They have a pawn in hand that they must play. When they finally do, an opportunity opens up that humanity must immediately seize... but at what cost?
