  1. I was scrolling the comments to see if anyone mentioned "Footfall" before I posted a comment about it. The Orion ship Michael was awesome, even though the launch was a little hard on Bellingham, WA. The authors writing themselves into the story... not so awesome. Not nearly as vomit-inducing as when Clive Cussler does it but still a bit hard to take. There's nothing quite like "The Stan Lee Effect" when it comes to instantly destroying suspension of disbelief. Of course, the hardest thing to believe wasn't the aliens or the ship, it was the VW Rabbit that drove 2000 miles on one tank of gas decades before hybrids were available. Based on EPA estimates, it would have needed (at least) a 50 gallon tank to pull that off. Still, "Footfall" is QUITE entertaining and, arguably, one of the best and most believable alien invasion stories around.
