The first book in a can't-put-it-down, can't-read-it-fast-enough action-thriller trilogy that's part Hatchet, part Little Shop of Horrors! The invasion begins--but not as you'd expect. It begins with rain. Rain that carries seeds. Seeds that sprout--overnight, everywhere. These new plants take over crop fields, twine up houses, burrow below streets. They bloom--and release toxic pollens. They bloom--and form venus-fly-trap like pods that swallow animals...

After the aliens begin their invasion of Earth, a rebel faction contacts Anaya and proposes a plan that would allow humans, hybrids, and cryptogens to coexist peacefully, though it is unclear if all hybrids will agree.
