Annihilating everything before it, a horde of monstrous space travellers were advancing through the stars. And Earth lay in their route. To defend their home planets, the worlds that lay in the path of the monsters created a super defence force, asking each planet to contribute one especially talented warrior to help turn the invaders away. Miles Vander was Earth's man, but when he arrived at the rendezvous point he found that he was included in the special task force of the less civilized defenders. But in the contest of advanced nuclear weaponry and computer strategy, it turned out to be Vander's group that had the special independent qualities and the raw courage to meet the challenge most effectively.

This review is from: Hour of the Horde (Paperback)
Recommended to me as a child by my dad, I put this book up there with Ender's Game, and Starship Troopers. Short, sweet, and a well done story. The main character is not the easiest to relate to, but his utter humanity is. This book feels like a short story in that it delves directly into the meat of the story relatively quickly and refrains from taking too many twists and turns. You'll probably finish the book in a single sitting, but it is worth the time!
