The Sauron Saga: Death Day and Earth Rise by William Dietz

The aliens attacked on a Friday and by Sunday all the major cities in the world were destroyed and three billion people were dead. The attackers were the Sauron, an insectoid race of beings divided into a three caste system: Zin; the ruling caste, cruel, vindictive and manipulative; the Kan, the warriors caste, ruthless and efficient and the Fon, the lower caste destined to do the menial work. The Sauron also arrived with a race of slaves called the Ra ‘ Na, furry little creatures with a keen sense of all technical things. The humans left alive are enslaved and are forced to build the place where the aliens will eventually go to die and simultaneously give birth to the a new generation.

All in all is an entertaining enough story, but I think it does not compare favorably to others like John Ringo's Posleen saga. I did not like the handling of the racial stuff. I don't think it made a lot of sense. Some of the actions were just plain illogical, like the final attack on the Guatemalan citadel.

I only have read one other book from this author, Steel Heart, and I liked it a lot. I liked these ones too but I think I was expecting something even better.

"A classic alien-invasion tale of survival and human triumph-great reading for anyone who loved Independence Day or The War of the Worlds." (Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times)
From the national bestselling author of By Blood Alone and By Force of Arms, this acclaimed hardcover debut takes readers into an apocalyptic scenario from humanity's worst nightmare.

I totally love this set of books about an alien invasion and the sutvivors who fought them.

First book in the story of an alien invasion of earth. Very believable and realistic. A real page turner.

If you liked Independence Day, you will enjoy this book alot.

Not bad sci-fi, nothing really great either. Cliffhanger ending for the sequel.

On Black Friday, the aliens attacked. The human race was enslaved. But soon, everything will change...TOMORROW IN NOT JUST ANOTHER DAY.
Great reading for anyone who loved Independence Day or War of the Worlds.

An excellent story about alian invasion and the survival and fight of the USA men and women. You will want to read the second part book "Earthrise".
