While the surface story is of an alien invasion, the sequestered Carmichael family in thier hilltop "fortress" is the real story. An interesting storyline for those into geneology and history. I found myself checking the beginning chapters of the book for "memories" later referenced and re-familiarizing myself before moving on. I read this book at least once a year. A keeper once you let go of the need to justify alien activities.
