I agree with Goofy (see french translation) that this sentence is not ideal, since you first refer to "an alien race" and proceed with "them"...
I manged to convey this inconsistency in my own translation, though...

By the way, I find your contributions very interesting to translate. Often a challenge for French. Nice!

Good point. I'll change "them" to "it".

Thanks for the compliment sacredceltic!
