Reader reviewed by JMc
I enjoyed this book immensely. As I read it, I had a reaction similar to what I experienced years ago when I read Frank Peretti's THIS PRESENT DARKNESS. It was refreshing to have that feeling again. The story was like reading about a gradual extraterrestrial invasion of opposing aliens that only two characters in the story are able to see. And the reader is left to discover what will happen and how the unseen visitors will affect the lives of the other people in the town. It was a thilling and imaginative book and I hope there is a sequel.
