Overview from Barnes & Noble:
Without warning, giant silver ships
from deep space appear in the skies above every major city on Earth. Manned by
the Overlords, in fifty years, they eliminate ignorance, disease, and poverty.
Then this golden age ends—and then the age of Mankind begins....
Overview from Wikipedia:
The story follows the peaceful alien invasion
of Earth by the mysterious Overlords, whose arrival begins decades of apparent
utopia under indirect alien rule, at the cost of human identity and culture.
Didn't read it? Come anyway! The conversation is always good.
