Earth is visited by aliens, bringing peace and prosperity. But their intentions are not benevolent, and soon the world is under occupation. While some choose to collaborate with the Visitors, others decide to fight back. Episode One Alien motherships appear above cities across the globe. The world reacts with panic and fear - until the commander of the Visitors appears and reveals that they come in need of help. Their offer seems too good to be true... Episode Two One month later, and the Visitors have become part of everyday life. But people are beginning to disappear, and scientists are being persecuted. Documentary-maker Mike Donovan sneaks on board one of the motherships and discovers the horrifying truth. Episode Three It is now Christmas. The Visitors have taken charge, imposing martial law over the UK. Scientists are forced to go into hiding - and Doctor Juliet Parrish finds herself becoming the reluctant leader of the rebellion. **Please note: the collector's edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,000 copies and will not be repressed.**
