AUTHOR’S NOTE

Despite the plethora of indications to the contrary on the Internet, this Borgo Press edition is the first separate publication of this novel, which has only previously been issued as part of the omnibus edition, Invasion! Earth vs. the Aliens (2007). The novel was announced for publication by Underwood Books in the Fall of 2005 under the title, Operation Crimson Storm; covers were created for same, and orders were solicited, but for a variety of reasons beyond the publisher’s control, the book never actually appeared then. Ironically, if the first book in the sequence, War of Two Worlds (as it was then titled), and its sequel, Operation Crimson Storm, had appeared on schedule, the third book in the trilogy, The Martians Strike Back!, might never have been written, since its fate was dependent on sales of the first two volumes. And so it goes!
