Title: Sloppy & Careless Ad for Aerospace Industry
Product review: As other commenters have noted both the editing and the science behind the book are sloppy and careless. The strategies and tactics for defending earth have not been well thought out. A section of the book amounted to a paen to governmental secrecy and why the authors think it is important. And to why the government should give large amounts of money to aerospace companies and lie to the people about it.Some interesting ideas, and might be worth buying for about a third of the price.EDIT TO ADD: If you really think the risk of alien invasion is worth the unaccountable spending by sub-competent engineers and scientists that this book recommends, you should read Charles Stross's essay,[...] , discussing the near impossibility of travel over interstellar distances.
