Publisher Description
They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteriods. Now the conquerors are descending on the American heartland, demanding servile surrender - or death for all humans.

Footfall
I first read this book years ago and I can't wait for the audio version to download. The story line is compelling with politics, intrigue, technology and good old back to basics human ingenuity. In true Sci-Fi tradition the story is set against an epic clash of cultures, one human and one uniquely alien, with a twist for their technological development. Humanity is in for a pasting but quite literally we are not going to take it lying down.
