I have read science fiction, but it always had a romantic element. That being said, you can say that I was way out of my comfort zone reading this book.

I found some parts of the book interesting since it was published back in 1984 and I read it in 2013. The story starts off around the year 2011 with major changes to the way things really are.

It wasn't anything like the description. There was a long--very long-- period of time leading up to the arrival of the 'aliens'. You don't even get to the point of them meeting with the aliens until the end of the book. This book seemed like an agonizing and long journey of getting Earth ready for the arrival of visitors (which never happens).

There's also the fact that the book is written with so much technical jargon that I didn't understand half of it. I'm not a stupid person, but never had any training with computers or space aviation. That's what you would need to understand half of what is said in this book.

I know that there are two more books in the series, but I can't see myself reading them.
