Review title: I'm sorry, but The Alien Years is a big disappointment.
Product review: The Alien Years started out with very little energy and ended in similar fashion. The aliens themselves were too cliche and Silverberg poorly supports the aliens' role as the antagonists. He simply writes them off as beings that are too intelligent for us to have any notions of who-what-when-where-why they are. Throughout the book, humans suffer and struggle in the hands of these so called "Entities" and never win any battles with them... not ever. The idea of such God-like, highly intelligent, and invincible aliens..well... SUCKS! The Alien Years is NOT action-packed nor is it thought provoking. My experience with this book is analogous to watching television for long hours... in the end I walked away from it with indifference.
