Striking the Balance

At the bloody height of World War II, the deadliest enemies in all of human history were forced to put aside their hatreds and unite against an even fiercer foe: a seemingly invincible power bent on world domination. With awesome technology, the aggressors swept across the planet, sowing destruction. City after city explodes in radioactive firestorms, and fears grow as worldwide resources disappear. Will there be any world left for the invaders to conquer, or for the uneasy allies to defend? Exhaustian forces an armed truce. The invading Lizards are ceded certain desert areas in return for evacuating the rest of the territory they occupy. The two sides, human and alien, watch one another carefully, the Lizards in fear of explosively developing human technology and the humans in fear of the Lizard colonizing fleet that is scheduled to arrive in the 1960s.
