From the front flap of the BCE: "The Aalaag, a powerful race of alien giants, have conquered Earth. First, the teach the subjugated millions the superiority of their weapons, then of their bodies and minds, and finally of their law. With nothing left to cling to, the hearts of the human subjects fall into absolute submission. Shane Evert is one of the privileged caste of couriers and translators who serves his new masters faithfully and well - a least on the surface. But in his own heart, the sparks of enraged rebelliousness will not die. At immeasurable peril to his own life, Shane marks on the walls of Earth's cities the symbol of his own unconquerable nature - a simple sketch of the elusive, humble Pilgrim. But even he cannot foresee how this simple sign will prove a rallying cry for those who share his enslavement to rise up and rebel - hurling themselves against an impregnable enemy at impossible odds."
