The latter has nothing to do with the movie by the same name. They are long out of print but sometimes avaialable on AMazon. As part of my sci fi creds, I spent an afternoon with Ray Bradbury in the mid-1960s.

I can't believe I read your whole review. It inspired me to see what Amazon had to say, and their readers gave it 2 stars! Of course, that's an average. Of 1 review. You do the statistics. The review text is more appropriate to 1 star: I had never read anything by Koenig before, hopefully there is nothing else to read by him. He has taken a very good concept, human actions after most of the earth is destroyed by aliens, and reduced it to an almost incomprehensible story. Here and there in the book he actually made enough sense that you kept reading thinking that he may have finally settled down only to be disappointed a few paragraphs later. Oh my.
