Пол Энтони Джонс «Kings»

The Caretakers are dead, destroyed by the revelation of their long-ago corruption at the hands of a mysterious alien race.

But Earth and its human survivors are still not free; the alien scourge that brought about so much calamity to the planet are coming to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs. Standing between them and their prize is Emily Baxter and the ragtag remnants of the human race.

With the help of new allies, Emily must journey from the frozen island of Svalbard back to Point Loma to confront Sylvia Valentine, the woman who tried to have her murdered. But all is not as Emily expected, and she finds a very different Point Loma than the one she escaped; the enemy has arrived and the harvest of the planet’s resources has begun.

Now Emily, Rhiannon, Mac, and Thor will face their greatest challenge yet, as they and the other survivors confront the creatures responsible for unleashing the Caretakers on their planet.

The old world is dead and the final battle is about to begin, with Earth and the future of humanity as the prize.
