The Forge Of God

A stunning novel of alien invasion from a master of the genre.

A stunning novel of alien invasion from a master of the genre.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The disappearance of one of Jupiter's moons, the appearance of little green men in Australia and the American Southwest, and the sudden presence of unidentifiable objects on a collision course inside the Earth's core add up to the inescapable conclusion that the Earth has been invaded by an enemy it cannot fight.

Powerfully and gracefully written, the latest novel by the author of Eon and Blood Music stands far above most examples of doomsday science fiction.
