The gathering storm - William C. Dietz

The thrilling novel based on the bestselling video game Resistance: Fall of Man

Great Britain. July 1951.

Three years ago, Russia went dark. Nothing got in. Nothing
got out. The world assumed it was political strife. But it was the Chimera: voracious
extraterrestrial invaders. And in December 1949, they burst across the Russian border
and poured into Europe. The luckiest humans died. The less fortunate succumbed to
an alien virus-and changed.

Within a year, most of Europe had fallen. Only Great
Britain, after struggling desperately, had kept the conquerors at bay. But as the
Chimera were repelled, they were evolving. Building. Planning.

America. November
1952.

The Chimera have crossed the Atlantic. Their lightning strikes on American
borders are devastating. Cities are lost. Small towns overrun. Citizens transformed
into monstrosities. Enter Lieutenant Nathan Hale, U.S. Ranger. A veteran of the Chimeran
conflict, he is uniquely immune to the alien virus. And when regular troops can't
stem the Chimeran onslaught, Hale and his special-operations team meet the menace
head-on.

But while they battle the relentless Chimera, deadly power games rage in
the White House. And when Hale discovers a far-reaching conspiracy, one with deadly
consequences for the human race, his allegiance to country and mankind is stretched
to the breaking point.
