In the near future, enormous silver spaceships appear without warning over mankind's largest cities. They belong to the Overlords, an alien race far superior to humanity in technological development-and their purpose is to dominate the Earth. Their demands, however, are surprisingly beneficial - end war, poverty, and cruelty. Their presence, rather than signaling the end of humanity, ushers in a golden age-or so it seems.

"Science is the only religion of mankind."

A ambientação é muito boa. O plot twist da aparência dos aliens é genial, mas eu não consegui me apegar a nenhum personagem, eles eram meros coadjuvantes de uma história maior, e particular eu leio livros pelo arco dos personagens, é o que me cativa.
