Shape-shifter aliens establish bases in wilderness areas of Earth, including northwest Australia. They do not resort to open warfare with vastly superior technology, but use airships, invisibility, and biological weapons. While exploring the Kimberleys, two English youths stumble upon a plot by the aliens to destroy humanity through the breeding of new forms of plague.

"Potter's alien-Invasion story antedates H G Wells's The War of the Worlds (April-December 1897 Pearson's; 1898) by five years, but the element of Christian allegory (fallen angels confronted by a good angel) leaves its sf potential not fully realized." - Peter Nicholls
