Publisher's Synopsis
A tale of tentacles, friendship, and love. From a distant galaxy a nameless enemy has come. Roaming the cosmos, they consume minds and souls, and Earth is their next target, humanity being easy prey. But there are others, too, who have traveled here, trying against all odds to stop the enemy before they destroy another world. As they silently prepare for the coming battle, however, these defenders discover a new hope, an unexpected chance to turn the tide of their distant interstellar war, and yet a hope that requires a sacrifice of innocence by the young women in a small California town. For it is only through the most degrading of acts that the Earth, and the galaxy beyond, might be saved....
