Hey all, here's another reminder from Mr. Evan, and I've got to say this is a good book.

The book is Footfall by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.This one is available on Bookshare at:http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/2062?returnPath=L3NlYXJjaD9rZXl3b3JkPWZvb3RmYWxsJg%3D%3D <http://www.bookshare.org/browse/book/2062?returnPath=L3NlYXJjaD9rZXl3b3JkPWZvb3RmYWxsJg%3D%3D>although it's rated only Good. This one is not on BARD, but it is on tape, RC 21541.If you have a print impairment you can download the book for free from Baen Books:www.baen.com <http://www.baen.com> and it is also available from audible.com. Here is the NLS synopsis:In the near future, an uncommunicative alien spaceship approaches Earth and, without warning, launches a devastating attack. Soon an alien army occupies Kansas, plundering and taking captives. Thus begins a war of immense destruction.From the inside flap:They first appear as a series of dots on astronomical plates, heading from Saturn directly toward Earth. Since the ringed planet carries no life, scientists deduce the mysterious ship to be a visitor from another star. The world's frantic efforts to signal the aliens go unanswered. The first contact is hostile: the invaders blast a Soviet space station, seize the survivors, and then destroy every dam and installation on Earth with a hail of asteroids. Now the conquerors are descending on the American heartland, demanding servile surrender--ordeath for all humans.This one is a classic by two of the best in the business, so hope you enjoy it and that you can come to the next meeting and talk about it.Evan _______________________________________________ Scifi mailing list Scifi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://orthanc.jrw.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scifi
