The war with the Race continues and is not going well. The race to produced atomic weapons continues as the plans of conquest begin to fall apart. The Race is beginning to see that it will not be able to conquer Earth. In an unheard of move Avatar opens negotiations with Russia, Germany and The United States. The Race is running out of vital weapons and has no means to replace them.
Earth has jet fighters and has improved their radar.
Germany and the United States have missiles. This is a great series and I highly recommend that you read it. There is one more, the second that I have not yet had the pleasure to read, that is Tilting The Balance. Although I do recommend reading them in order not having read that particular book does nothing to deter form the whole series. I think it will be liked.
