The aliens aren't coming. They're here. We've captured some of them. Are they our saviors, or are they out to destroy us? We've seen no spaceships, received no ultimatums--but the aliens may have a more insidious plot.... Government agent Dan Dannerman and astronomer Patrice Adcock were kidnapped by the aliens and have been returned in altered states, cloned and implanted with strange devices. To what end? Before the reasons behind their abduction can be made clear, a wave of extremist threats and terrorist attacks sweeps the globe. Are the attacks a reaction to the aliens' arrival--or a part of their plan? A race around the earth and into space begins, as humankind desperately tries to prevent the aliens from establishing a beachhead no Earth. The siege has begun. No library descriptions found. |

To be fair, this book is the second in a series and I have not read the first book. However, the characters failed to engage my interest and I struggled to finish it. Pohl seems to be a better science writer than science fiction writer. His boxed "news items" and theoretical asides seem to have more of his interest. At the end, the climax of the book seems to be delivering a lecture on tachyon theory and virtual subatomic particles. Two documents, one about the exciting developments in physics and one about diverse people dealing with aliens from space and a possible invasion by immmensely powerful and contentious "Beloved Leaders," would have worked better.
