"Alien Invasion: Life As We Know It" by John Kilmerstone is a unique look at alien invasion of planet earth. John Kilmerstone has attacked the planet in a new and unanticipated fashion; he has opened the door to a significant, but previously unexplored concept of domination that provides considerable food for thought. In order to subdue and dominate Earth, the aliens simply destroyed everything made of metal. Consequently, all forms of transportation more advanced than horses ceased to exist. All communications more advanced than shouting across the street were destroyed. All weaponry more advanced than sticks and stones, or bows and arrows, were rendered useless. The aliens did not have to attack the humans; roving gangs of barbarians took care of that for them.
Is there any hope for the planet? Or is this invasion the final death knell for earth and earthlings? This short story would make a very absorbing novel; the concept is a good one. The manner in which the author ends this story leaves something to be desired, but the reader's imagination takes over and provides its own ending. This story is certainly a good one, and I recommend reading it, but the author could do himself and us a big favor by further developing this short story into a novel, or at least a novelette or novella. It has the potential to become a real block-buster of a novel.
