My, my, what a cocky hero we've got here. For years he has lived in frozen Pennsylvania, to be picked up by aliens who rule the earth. Though our hero hasn't seen much of the world and has lived like a caveman for years, he manages to keep out of the hands of the real rulers, who are after a secret, hidden in the DNA of his yellow eyes. It is thanks to his anti-social behaviour and his rude manners that he manages to shake them off all the time. Our unsympathic hero gets help everywhere, but never a moment of gratitude, which seems to be his survival.
I didn't find this novel half as entertaining as the other reviewer, but I've read worse.

In the 1990s, the Earth plunges into an Ice Age. Aliens come to rescue us, but really come to search for a person with golden eyes whose chromosomes contain the secret of how to blow up a star, encoded into his genes by a genetic engineer 35,000 years ago... A zillion wild ideas thrown at you machine gun style...a wild ride for a sci-fi-fan!

I liked this book. I read it years ago, and recently reread it. I thought it was an enjoyable read. It is 200 pages long, and goes pretty fast, and it had novel ideas. The aliens have come to earth looking for a yellow eyed human, and they find one. The story sort of goes on a roller coaster from there.

___________________________________________
The Earth has entered a new Ice Age, destroying temperate-zone civilization. Then, ships from the Galactic Empire arrive to help! But they're crewed by dim adolescent dorks, and other things don't add up...

Has moments, but basically a pot-boiler. Well, bills must be paid...

Author's comment: "I thought it would be fun to write a pot-boiler; oddly, it wasn't. Anyway, I was only twenty-seven when I wrote it; you can't expect too much. "


Happy reading--
