At first, mankind was in awe of its alien "companions" who promised peace and gave us help. But the Taelons' true mission, understood only by a few brave souls in the Resistance, was to dominate us. After years of struggle, mankind survives to see the Taelons perish. But instead of relief, their demise brings a new horror - an aggressive and cruel alien species, the Atavus. The Atavus intend to destroy humanity. And it is the mission of one daring Resistance fighter - Renee Palmer - to stop them in this, Earth's final conflict. Originally conceived by legendary Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry and a hit with TV audiences and sci-fi fans around the world, Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict bristles with explosive action, incredible special effects, and brilliant social and political intrigue.
