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.'ROUSING . . . THE BEST OF THE GENRE.'--The New York Times Book Review
