Mancano pochi giorni al Giorno dell'Indipendenza, quando il cielo su Washington è oscurato da una gigantesca astronave extraterrestre. Il governo degli Stati Uniti e l'opinione pubblica si interrogano sulle intenzioni dei visitatori dividendosi tra un fronte ostile ed un'ala pacifista. Contemporaneamente, nell'etere viene captato un misterioso segnale: è, come scopre David Levison, un conto alla rovescia che annuncia un'aggressione senza precedenti contro la Terra.
