Giant, technologically superior aliens have conquered Earth, but humankind survives - even flourishes in a way. Men and women live like mice in burrows in the massive walls of the huge homes of the aliens, scurrying about under their feet, stealing from them. A complex social and religious order has evolved, with women preserving knowledge and working as healers, and men serving as warriors and thieves. For the aliens, men and women are just a nuisance, neither civilized nor intelligent, and certainly not a worthy adversary. In fact, they are regarded as vermin, to be exterminated. Which, ironically, may just be humankind's strength and point the way forward.

Edition Notes

Terraner im Land der Giganten – Sie leben als Parasiten.

Menschen als Parasiten

Seit dem Tage in halbvergessener Vergangenheit, da die riesigen Geschöpfe aus dem All die Erde in Besitz nahmen und die menschliche Zivilisation und Technologie schlagartig auslöschten, führen die Nachkommen derer, die die Invasion überlebten, ein Schmarotzerdasein.

Wie Küchenschaben oder Ratten hausen sie in Schlupfwinkeln der gigantischen Wohngebäude der Fremden, ständig von der Ausrottung durch Gift oder andere Schädlingsbekämpfungsmittel bedroht. Sie ernähren sich von den Vorräten, die sie bei ihren Raubzügen erbeuten, träumen von der alten Größe der Menschheit und hoffen auf die Stunde der Rache.

Doch einige Menschen wissen, daß dieses Hoffen illusorisch ist. Sie denken realistischer als ihre Zeitgenossen, und sie arbeiten an der Verwirklichung eines neuen Lebensziels.
