Operation Lightning Strike

The aliens say they come in peace - but evidence suggests otherwise.

An alien spacecraft is making its way towards Earth. It will arrive within weeks. The government and military are helpless to contain the increasingly desperate situation and must concede to the aliens' intention to inhabit the Earth, offering partnership in return for colonisation without bloodshed.

But chances of a peaceful settlement are soon swept aside when a powerful sub-group known only as The Enterprise unleashes a biological weapon of mass destruction against the aliens. They hold out the prospect of a vaccine - if the aliens capitulate and hand over their ship. And now, in a battle between two intelligent life forms to gain control of the Earth, the future is uncertain and the possibility of mass extermination grows ever closer.
