Alpha Element - September 11th

I've come up with a new idea for the "Second War of the Worlds" universe.  In this iteration, the Martians have sent their team back in time to a point a few years earlier than the initial invasion.  Actually, many years earlier - about twenty years early.  And they send children in the insertion team - their mission is to completely blend in with the Americans as sleeper agents.  Except, of course, children tend to develop their own loyalties over time.
