Publisher's Synopsis
Book One of the Refuge Omnibus series. Previously published as Refuge by Foy W. Minson.
Just as Jason Wolfe, a widower with a ten-year-old daughter, is contemplating giving up his police badge for a less stressful life, an armada of starships falls upon Earth in a blitzkrieg invasion of fire and death, and he is suddenly challenged with their very survival. Even as the alien invaders decimate the human species while destroying anything that may aid survivors, a pair of vicious sociopaths use the opportunity to prey upon their fellow survivors. Jason and his daughter join with other survivors in fleeing and fighting both kinds of foes. During all this, strange, new abilities emerge among human survivors, abilities that once resulted in being burned as a witch. Might these abilities, if they can be controlled, aid in surviving the chaos, or even in eventually repelling the invaders? Is it only a coincidence that these powers are emerging now? If it's real, is it still magic?
