Invaders

A Sequel to Vaz, Tiona, and Disc

De: Laurence Dahners

Narrado por: Robin Coppock

Invaders is about events that occur several years after those in the novel, Disc.

GSI (Gettnor Space Industries) is beginning to investigate our solar system and mine the asteroids. Aircraft and automobile companies are beginning to switch over to thrusters from their more traditional products. New uses for thrusters are popping up in the health care and sports industries.

However, at Epsilon Eridani, a race of aliens has so overpopulated their own solar system that they must move many tens of billions of their people to another system before overcrowding destroys them. They send an exploratory vessel to our solar system to determine whether it would be a suitable place to move. The mere presence of another intelligent race doesn’t deter them—they’ve always just wiped out any problematic species in new systems.

When the aliens first arrive through a wormhole near the Sun, their ship is thought to be an asteroid in a highly elliptical orbit. Earth isn’t even aware that an alien race has arrived until the aliens separate a lander and send it to study Earth.

Attempts to communicate with the aliens fail. The aliens’ complete lack of any interest in communication with us contributes to these failures. The aliens are far ahead of us in biotechnology, materials technology, and wormhole physics. They aren’t really worried about any threats from the human race, but they don’t recognize that we have advantages in computing and thruster technology.

Will the aliens be able to successfully deploy their bioweapon, destroying the human race and moving their excess population to our solar system? Or can we fight back...somehow?

narration

maybe should have chosen a different narrator. there isn't much difference between characters and a lot of names are mispronounced

Great ending to a terrific series.

I just love Laurence Dahners!! Each series is always my favorite! Hard science keeps me on my toes.

A great finale

Another great book in the series another great book by this author another great fun read, my only complaint would be too much relationship baggage in this one.

Good story

Wasn’t really a fan of the reader, particularly after changing from a great reader previously

Skip it or risk your feelings for the other books

I liked Vaz and his entire family but they are all missing from this book, they are physically present but their personalities are gone. Vaz has shown that he is very smart but he is also perceptive and aware of his personality difficulties. All of those prior personal learned skills are gone in this book. The main characters seem to still be smart in a few areas but everyone has gotten dumber in every other area. The only reason I finished this story was to see how bad it would actually end up...bad. On top of that there is a new narrator. I'm having a hard time separating my dislikes. I'm not sure if the bad story made me not like the new narrator or did the new narrator just make my dislike of the story even more.

Not as good as the previous books

I dislike when the narrators are changed, also it was a bit hard to tell characters apart. As for the story, it also had problems. I didn't think some of the character reactions made sense considering the situation. Also the relationship drama was not something I was interested in. For the entire series, I liked the very first book the best, and preferred the perspective from Vaz over his daughter.
