They came without warning. Made no demands. And crushed Earth beneath silence.
Fifteen feet tall and impossibly advanced, the alien Entities don’t negotiate—they dominate. Their arrival unleashes plague, chaos, and a new Dark Age. Humanity falls swiftly, helplessly. But not everyone surrenders.
Colonel Anson Carmichael and his descendants refuse to kneel. Across generations, the Carmichaels wage a quiet, unrelenting resistance, holding onto one fragile truth: freedom is worth fighting for—even when the fight seems hopeless.
Spanning decades, The Alien Years is a profound sci-fi epic from Hugo and Nebula Award winner Robert Silverberg. In the shadow of impenetrable power, it asks what endures: violence or vision, fear or hope?
The aliens brought silence. But humanity may yet find its voice.
