Summary
Taylor knew Earth faced its darkest hour; man was prepared to fight against any invaders, except?ironically enough?those he had created!
Harry Taylor knew it was going to be a big one?a really big one?the moment he saw the Chief.
"Come in, Taylor. Come in," the Chief said. He was a three-star general in the United States Air Force and he stood in front of a map of the Western hemisphere. The map covered the entire rear wall of the room with certain areas?like the White Sands complex and the central Everglades and a portion of the Mojave Desert?marked off in red.
