Then came the announcement that the whole thing was a hoax. First came the news that a flying saucer had landed in Iowa. Case closed. End of story. And four more agents who were sent in also disappeared. Except that two agents of the most secret intelligence agency in the U.S. government were on the scene and disappeared without reporting in. What the humans know, they know. So the head of the agency and his two top agents went in and managed to get out with their discovery: an invasion is underway by slug-like aliens who can touch a human and completely control his or her mind. And most of Iowa is already under their control. What the slugs want, no matter what, the human will do. Unfortunately, that was just before he was taken over by one of the aliens and began working for the invaders, with no will of his own. Sam Cavanaugh was one of the agents who discovered the truth. Since the Treasury Department includes the Secret Service, which safeguards the President of the United States, control of the entire nation is near at hand . And he has just learned that a high official in the Treasury Department is now under control of the aliens. 2010
