Robert Wilson and the Invasion from Within

Rate this book
As the world confronts an invasion from an alien empire—which has embedded spies in global institutions—the decisions of one man may determine humanity’s fate.

Alien conqueror, Anton Frozos, sends Robert Wilson, a top graduate of a spy-training program, to Earth to gain influence and prime the planet for its eventual conquest. Robert uses his advanced knowledge and technology to amass significant power and fortune in the business world. However, Robert has concealed aspects of his past from Frozos, which may complicate his loyalty.

When Frozos’s forces arrive several years later, Robert must decide whether to support the man who has lifted him from a life of enslavement or defect and ally with Earth. This choice forces Robert to insert himself into the political process, opposing American President Nick Neverian, as the planet decides whether to forcefully resist invasion or accept Frozos’s demands. Robert’s own past with President Neverian, a one-time ally and now foe, further complicates his decision-making. As the crisis builds, will nations be brought to the brink of war? Will governments be toppled while the world reckons with Frozos’s army amassing in the sky?

I’m giving 2 stars because even though the book’s basic idea is super interesting, I had trouble with the writing style. It became was too tedious so I caught myself skipping through pages and my mind wandering everywhere but in the story. What I also found weird and I couldn't wrap my head around is that aliens, especially Robert’s people, are too much like humans on Earth, even their names.
I didn’t finish the book because at around 70% I realized I just don’t care anymore what happens next.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy.

I won this book in a Goodreads drawing.

I enjoy sci-fi and really liked the premise of this book. Felt that the writing may benefit from some more editing but enjoyed overall.

As an avid reader of science fiction and space operas I can honestly say that this is one of, if not the best book I’ve read in the genre.

An intriguing and unique plot, captivating characters, and awesome backstories/flashbacks make this book a real page turner.

I would also highly recommending reading more than once as there are some very cool Easter eggs hidden throughout the story. As you can see I’ve read it several times!

The only negative is that Arbor Ridge isn’t listed on the NYSE.
