REFUGEE FROM ARMAGEDDON

Sam Yates' job -- Commissioner of Security for United Nations lunar headquarters -- was a pretty boring one ... until mankind's first extraterrestrial visitor arrived on the moon asking for political asylum.

Now, everyone wants a piece of the action; scientists, soldiers, and spies from both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. are determined to study the alien. But the petty conflicts of humanity are the least of Yates' worries ...

The hunters are coming. Warlike, inhuman, light-years beyond us in science and technology, they will destroy anything that comes between them and the alien prey.

Including Earth itself ..
