The Cycle 8

The Cycle 8 is a story about the long game. Two Aliens find their way to the shores of Sea Isle City, New Jersey. They are Cycle 1 Craurchins, from the planet Sandomars, and their ultimate goal is to populate the eastern shores of the United States and become Cycle 8's! Over 150 years after their arrival, the Jersey shore has become the "Badlands", a place where craurchins of all sizes roam the beaches, bays and streets of previously populated shore towns. For the people who chose to stay it is a never-ending battle for survival...not just against the craurchins, but their own government.
