My 5 star rating of Three to Conquer, by Eric Frank Russell:-

Spoiler:

This was a well constructed tale about an invasion by aliens that is so silent, it escapes the nets of what people used to say Uncle Sam. The USA is alive and kicking in this book, so ardents of Panem won't be satiated.

Well, the book itself is very much grounded, walking the line between Sci Fi and the simple novel. There are only the baddies and the telepath to make this quite enthralling story a futuristic horror one.

The upbeat ending does not mesh with the chaos in the battle between alien and man. But we go along with the ride. I gave Three to Conquer a perfect score because of its battleground and its casualties, and its prophecy veering towards a caveat for mankind.
