Simpsons' designer, Jefferson R. Weekley has published his first book, 'Red Earth'.

December 2012, thousands of small asteroids strike the Earth destroying nearly every major city and military base on the planet in minutes.
From orbit, invisible beams of energy tore through the Earth’s atmosphere annihilating nuclear missile and power sites, chemical, weapon, and industrial factories. Any region of dense human activity that hadn’t already been destroyed was targeted.
The orbital assault lasted just under two hours. Then the Martians came.
They were counting on absolute, overwhelming force. Either they took the Earth, or extinction took them.

'Red Earth' is an exciting science-fiction adventure set in the very near future. In the brief span of one night the Earth is utterly conquered by an invading force from Mars.  Inspired, in part, by H. G. Wells' 'War of the Worlds', 'Red Earth' is neither a retelling nor a sequel.  The story follows the adventures of Jonathan Crow in the days and months after the fall of Humanity as he and his small band of friends avoid the carnivorous aliens and, even worse, his fellow survivors.
