1977. NASA launches the space probe Voyager 1. One of its missions: answer the question--is there intelligent life beyond our planet?

Fast-forward a thousand years. Question answered ... by the Psychlos, a ruthless race of aliens have traced the probe back to our planet. In a single sweeping alien invasion, the Psychlos have scorched the Earth, all but wiped out the human race and stripped the planet of its natural resources.

Now, in the year 3000, humankind faces total extinction. But in this post-apocalyptic world, as a new millennium arises, so too has the courageous Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. In classic men's adventure fashion, Jonnie manages to raise an army out of the remnants of humanity, knowing that against the seemingly invincible aliens, the uprising will require a daring strike on an epic scale.

Is it the end of our world ... or the dawn of a new one? Will the human race be an instrument of the planet's destruction ... or the seed of its rebirth?
