An evil alien attacks the Earth, and the battlefield is the human mind.
DYSTOPIAN AI DRONES PROGRAMMED TO KILL BORDER CROSSERS
AN ALIEN WITH ALL THE TIME IN OUR WORLD...THE GREAT GENOCIDE HAS BEGUN
Twenty-eight billion light-years away, beneath the surface of the giant world, Pollus, space travel has become the instant transport of consciousness across the universe, enabling an evil alien entity to inhabit the mind of NoleX, the richest and most powerful man on Earth.
When malevolence worse than Hitler takes hold of American society, brilliant physicist Emmanuel Garcia, with help from his daughter, Gabriella, and an unlikely rebel, Roy Landon, invents a machine that accesses Einstein's unified field and tries to find a way to stop the genocide.
