I finished Orbs by Nicholas Sansbury Smith. This novel takes place around 2061, almost ten years after the Earth was ravaged by a solar flare. Humanity is still struggling to survive, and is looking towards the stars.

The problem is a group of aliens decide to invade and in the space of a single day, these creatures have all but wiped out humanity.

A small group of scientists in a biodome try to come to grips with what has happened and wish to find a way to survive.

It wasn’t the best. At least it wasn’t as bad as the Purge of Babylon series, but I certainly did not enjoy it. Rarely will I ever not bother to continue with a series, but this is one of the few exceptions.

The book was simply not something I enjoyed, although I am certain there are plenty who have – considering the series is three books in length (I’m pretty sure it was meant to be a trilogy) and there are at least two additional novella’s written for it.

Maybe you will enjoy it, as everyone has different tastes. I can recommend it far more than the Purge of Babylon books.
