Millions thrilled to Kenneth Johnson's hugely popular mini-series "V," an action filled drama of alien invasion, a TV event that was also a number one bestselling novel. Now, in a new novel based on the sequel miniseries currently being developed for TV, the tension between The Visitors and Earth's human inhabitants has reached a boiling point.

The reptilian Visitors, who cleverly portray themselves as Earth's protectors, are anything but. Our oceans are being drained in order to fuel the aliens' motherships, and our scientists are treated like wanted criminals. And they have pods of preserved humans destined for even more sinister purposes.

But hope is not lost. A small, yet resourceful Resistance risks everything to undermine the Visitors' stranglehold on Earth's people. Despite their heroic efforts, without more help they will be crushed by the Visitors and their human militia. Just when Earth's doom seems inevitable, agents of an alien civilization from another planet arrive in answer to humanity's desperate call for help. But can these other aliens be trusted? Or might we defeat one alien overlord, only to be delivered into the hands of another, equally as oppressive?

Time is running out for the Resistance, for when the Visitors' Leader arrives, the aliens will complete their mission on Earth, with devastating consequences for all life on the planet.

"Hundreds of millions thrilled to Kenneth Johnson's and Warner Bros. Television's hugely popular production, the critically acclaimed miniseries V, an action-filled drama of an oppressive alien occupation, a landmark TV event that was also a best-selling novel. Now the epic story continues twenty years after the original arrival of the alien Visitors in this new novel." "Readers will be swept up in the Brave New World that the Visitors have created. Hiding their reptilian nature beneath false human skin, the Visitors have brought many benefits to humankind and seduced the majority into believing The Big Lie: that they will be the saviors of Earth. But in truth they are draining our oceans and subjugating our people. A small but determined human Resistance has fought them for more than twenty years, but without more aid, their cause is hopeless. Then, at their darkest hour, the Resistance discovers startling new Allies who have come to help ... or have they?"--Jacket Suffering under the lash of the alien Visitors' control, the human underground have risked their lives for decades as they desperately try to find ways to thwart their reptilian overlords' dire plan. For while the Visitors claim to be Earth's friends, they instead seek only to exploit our planet's lifeblood-water-and slaughter all humankind. The human underground may finally get the chance to defeat the brutal control of the alien Visitors when another alien race answers their call for help, but they must also decide if their new alien allies can really be trusted
