The book uses the characters of the 7-year-old twins, Sam and Alice, who are always arguing and fighting. They decide to join the army, where they are told about an impending invasion of aliens from the planet Caissa. The outcome of the invasion will be decided by a game of living chess. During their lessons, they learn about the battlefield and the different types of soldiers and get to play the part of each in turn.
