" An alien named Ramnik has chosen the way of domination through infiltration of local and world governments, which in turn changes the mainstream of human society.
Joshua becomes a reluctant leader of those that have been enlightened to this subtle take-over, and through determination, warfare, suffering, and death, the government in partnership with the aliens strike up a questionable solution. "
