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.

Silverberg delivers with a tale of alien invasion that is as much the story of a remarkable family as it is science fiction. This compelling book will satisfy any reader. Highly recommended.

An engaging read, although the author didn't seem to know how to resolve his story of alien invasion.
