Description

"What if aliens invaded and colonized Earth's oceans rather than its land? Britain, 1953: It begins with red dots appearing across the sky and crashing to the oceans' deeps. At first, many people believe that these aliens are interested in only what's down below. But when the polar ice-caps begin to melt, it becomes clear that these beings are not interested in sharing the Earth and that humankind might just be on the brink of extinction."--

While I think the main plot feels kind of dry at times and the way the events are presented isn't my favourite, I loved the protagonists Mike and Phyllis and their conversations. They have an interesting relationships and the parts that focused on how their lives are going were great. Like in Day of the Triffids, the writing and the details were the best part of the novel, containing some commentary and hints of humor. The actual story was far from boring as well, however it was mostly looking at things from afar and felt too investigative and political for my taste. The core idea was interesting and something else, the execution was less unique, though, but it was still a really fun read.
