Good story.

Aliens invade the earth...

I can't really say much without giving spoilers besides the authors did a good job of introducing aliens with really alien ways of thinking. I'm sure they didn't invent the concept, but they did a good job with it.

A light read, and fun.

These guys also wrote Lucifer's Hammer, which is pretty much the same premise but without the aliens.

No one invades the Earth?

Doesn't sound that interesting to me...

A big rock invades Earth.

And that was the next book on my list for which to track down a hardcover copy.

Niven and Pournell do really good work together.

Lucifer's Hammer is my favorite. For some reason I still think of that book whenever I look at railroad tracks in the rain.
