This was an excellent read. I have seen reviews that praise it as the greatest scifi post-apocalypse, alien invasion genre and others that revile it for its shallowness and supposed link to Scientology. I don't know about Scientology or greatest book ever, but this was an excellent read. The book is well paced. The characters are not very well developed but it is an action book--I don't expect great character development. So if you want a fun read that will take awhile (1000 pages), enjoy this one.
This book was a marvel of sci-fi writing. I don't think L. Ron Hubbard wrote this book. All of his books before this one were rubbish. He only started writing good books when he founded that stupid cult(scientology) and got all of those followers. I think one of his followers probably wrote all of L. Ron's books for him. That having been said, the story of this book is epic. Johnny Good boy Tyler is one of the surviving humans after an alien slaughter. He has grown up in a world damaged by warfare and dominated by evil alien dominator s bent on mining our planet to an empty shell.
