They should have a technology that allows humans live forever, and to be burned, beaten, electrocuted, and stabbed without actually killing them. The aliens would be motivated by the bible, to turn earth into hell. They would light the continents on fire and make humans live in the inferno. Alien overseers would torture everyone for years on end, especially the innocent and the young. A book such as this would be magnificent.
