In lunar orbit, a silver-gray warship shaped like a ladybug slowly approached Earth.

First, a devil had committed a robbery, stealing the retired Blackbird reconnaissance plane displayed on the deck in broad daylight and flying away in it.

Three pairs of black wings that blotted out the sky closed together, and millions of alien troops vanished into nothingness. Anyone in the Western Hemisphere with even a halfway decent astronomical
