Praise

“An entertaining retelling of a classic sf invasion story along the lines of The Puppet Master or Invasion of the Body Snatchers.”
Booklist, the book review journal of the American Library Association

“Filled with memorable characters and turbo-charged with a breakneck pace… a visceral plunge into paranoia and terror.”
—  Jonathan Janz, author of Marla and The Siren and The Specter

“A terrific entry into the sci-fi paranormal genre that fans will love to read. A story with a surprising amount of heart and humanity at its core.”
—  Emerald Reviews

“The Intruders by Brian Pinkerton is my favorite book of the year so far…. I cannot recommend it more.”
—  Josef Hernandez, A Reviewer Darkly

“Brian has created a world ravaged by natural disasters and the human race is to blame, which made me think maybe it’s not a bad thing to be ‘taken over’ by something else from ‘out there’. Maybe a hard reset of the Human Race is long overdue.”
—  Monkey Reviews

“This is a highly entertaining read full of horrors and heartbreak. The adventure is fast paced and the invasion is unique and scary.”
—  Outlaw Poet
