Some residents of Rich Patch, an isolated community in the mountains of western Virginia, survive the alien conquest of planet Earth. Living under constant threat of attacks by alien drones and robots, they learn to fight back.

Part one of this book was published in Dark Science Fiction Short Stories as a stand-alone science-fiction horror story.

Part two was published as a bonus story in The Adventures of Shawn Haslett.

Those stories are reprinted here, together with the new parts three and four, completing a compelling tale of hope in a time of hopelessness.
