When visitors from across the Galaxy finally took notice of our little blue planet, they immediately let the leaders of Earth's governments know that they were here to take over. Resistance (as the saying goes) would be futile against this race of giants who proved that their technology and weapons were far more advanced than our own. The planet Earth would be a colonized state, with or without the humans t consent, For over 100 years, men have lived under this "Stendaaran" rule, choosing to co—exist with their extraterrestrial conquerors than to go extinct because of them. Private detective, Jack Dillon, had a huge problem with this arrangement, even though he was powerless to do anything about it, He hated aliens—all spaces leeches (as he liked to call them). But all that changed the day one hired him to solve the case of a stolen relic. And while cut trying to find this thief, Jack would ultimately discover that we need these savvy invaders (for our ultimate survival) in more ways than one.
