The Border

In April, massive explosions across the world signal the arrival of the Gorgon ships, which destroy Earth's greatest cities. Through portals in the sky emerge the skeletal Cyphers, and Earth becomes a battlefield in a war between two alien races. In Colorado, just over a hundred survivors take refuge in the ruins of an apartment complex. They face threats not only from the Gorgons and Cyphers, but also from the Gray Men—humans mutated by atmospheric changes into nightmarish creatures. With supplies and ammunition running low, the survivors' prospects are grim. Then a teenage boy appears, seemingly human but bearing severe injuries he cannot explain. He has no memory of his origins, but senses a power within himself that causes an earthquake, repelling a horde of Gray Men. A voice in his dreams tells him to find "the white mansion." As the survivors consider trusting this mysterious boy and following his cryptic guidance, hope begins to emerge among them.
