About this ebook

THEY ARE COMING. THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN. The discovery of objects approaching from Jupiter orbit sets humanity on edge, sending cities into panic. Most is unknown, but thanks to the popular Astral space app, everyone knows the few facts the government has tried to hide: The objects are enormous spheres numbering in the dozens, maybe hundreds. They are on an approach vector toward Earth … and they will arrive in six days.

Entrepreneur Meyer Dempsey is in New York, realizing the time has come to act on all the preparations he’s made without ever consciously knowing why. For years Meyer has been preoccupied by a dreamlike sense of coming peril and knows where he must take his family … if, that is, they can make it before society eats itself alive with fear. 

This relentless, page-turning tale of apocalyptic dawn is the first in the Alien Invasion series by masters of story Truant & Platt, authors of The Beam, Robot Proletariat, and many more.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed the realism I felt as I read how the world slowly goes bad when the news that aliens will be arriving soon. The characters are well developed and more or less act in a realistic manner. I didn't like that there got to a point where it felt as if the "good guys" were never in any real danger, sort of like you know the protagonist in a movie will never die. Also keep in mind that this is just the first part of a seven book saga, so don't expect the story to progress that much.

Awesomely engrossing, riveting, superbly written, couldn't put it down book. Intense, realistic portrayal of humanity, and what we are capable of. I don't give many book reviews, but had to for this one. Really grabbed my attention and interest, found it free, I'm very leary of buying new (to me) authors as I'm very jaded from poorly written books and rarely go out on a limb to read anything not from my favorite authors. These guys are now firmly on that list. Don't miss this series.

This is the first book I have read for pleasure in many years. Honestly, I absolutely loved it. I wanted to finish the entire series. But the language is so rough... I made it through this book, but I cringed every time my read aloud cussed at me. But the second chapter in the second book - I just couldn't take it anymore. I am so disappointed I don't get to finish the series.
