- First came the news that a flying saucer had landed in Iowa. Then came the
announcement that the whole thing was a hoax. End of story. Case closed. Except
that two agents of the most secret intelligence agency in the U.S. government
were on the scene and disappeared without reporting in. And four more agents who
were sent in also disappeared. So the head of the agency and his two top agents
went in and managed to get out with their discovery: an invasion is underway by
slug-like aliens who can touch a human and completely control his or her mind!
Sam Cavanaugh was one of the agents who discovered the truth. Unfortunately,
that was just before he was taken over by one of the aliens and began working
for the invaders, with no will of his own. And he has just learned that a high
official in the Treasury Department is now under control of the aliens. Since
the Treasury Department includes the Secret Service, which safeguards the
President of the United States, control of the entire nation is near at
hand...
