THEY WERE GREEN, THEY WERE LITTLE, THEY WERE BALD AS BILLIARD BALLS AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! Luke Devereaux was a science fiction writer, holed up in a desert shack waiting for inspiration. He was the first to see a Martian - but he certainly wasn't the last. It was estimated that one billion of them had arrived - one to every three human beings on Earth. Obnoxious green creatures who could be seen and heard (but not harmed) and who probed private sex lives as shamelessly as they exposed government secrets. No one knew why they had come. No one knew how to make them go away - except perhaps, Luke Devereaux. Unfortunately he was going slightly bananas, so it wouldn't be easy. But for a science fiction writer nothing was impossible...

It has been an interesting book to read, definitely felt like a book of it's time. Not the best book I have read, but not the worst book I have read. The story flows pretty well, thought the chapters telling the story from other peoples view and perspective felt a bit off. The ending is pretty anticlimatic, no real payoff. The humour was not for me, it did not feel funny or comedic, it might be written from a perspective which I don't understand the humour. I will explore his other works in the future. Not a high recommendation, but still a recommendation if some one wants to explore that era of scifi.

Low on action but high on humor, at least at the beginning, Martian invasions have never looked like this. You know how you read a book and you wish someone would make it into a series, or even a movie? The material here might fill a half-hour serial. All in all a nice diversion.
