Premise:When the Overlords appear over every city on Earth, mankind finds itself agreeing to their few demands. Poverty and war no longer exist, and the Earth finds itself unified. But what brings the Overlords to Earth in the first place?

My thoughts: I was tempted to read this, after watching a TV show on how influential certain sci-fi writers have been on society. I didn’t enjoy this as much as The Songs Of Distant Earth or Rendezvous With Rama, but still an interesting read. Without giving away spoilers, the last third or so of the book was slightly disappointing. I might re-read it at some point.
