by Jim Caswell
In 2066, a new planet is discovered beyond Pluto, believed to have been captured by Sol's gravity and capable of bearing life forms. A colonization and scientific expedition is launched, using state of the art space travel technology. Five years later, alien invaders, using earth's technology as well as their own, return to take over. After the initial attack wave wipes out all of the world's viable electrical sources, the aliens take America hostage.
A small band of freedom fighters in Texas stand up to the invaders from a now-defunct cattle ranch called the Longhorn. One of a very few outposts for rebellion, these heroes are forced resort to the ways of the old west to survive, protect themselves, and take the battle to the enemy. Over the next five years, we will follow their fight for survival and effort to take back the earth.
Below is a description of the earth's last, best hope and the enemy who hopes to wipe them out.
