"I really enjoyed this book. The “Invasion of the Earthmen” is a fascinating, well-researched interplanetary adventure written in an accessible language, with characters that are convincing and often delightful. Henry Livingstone is the book’s hero, who takes an earth-ship and crew on a voyage to the planet Ixnor. The events that ensue in this idealistic utopia surprise the intrepid earthmen with Livingstone, who soon realise that they may have bitten off more than they can chew. The book surprised me at every turn and I really never knew what was going to happen next – a gripping spiritual tale."

"I
really enjoyed reading “Invasion of the Earthmen”. It was easy, fast and fun
reading ideal for someone who wants a fun book that also can make you think.
“Invasion of the Earthmen” is now what I would call a retro sci-fi novel that
dwells on the evolution of mankind and its consciousness.
Unlike
other consciousness evolution titles (The Celestine Prophecy comes to mind)
Vitor’s utopia in Ixnor is not boring, one sided or totalitarian. One could
imagine one of the nonviolent planets of C. S. Lewis’s cosmic trilogy evolving
into something like Ixnor.
The
point for consciousness evolution is well made and the clarity of the narrative
helps one to rapidly absorb it. It is clear from the start that the main
narrative – the huge earth space ship journey to a distant planet – is but a
shadow reflection of the true journey one is to witness – an inner journey more
for the reader than of any of the characters. The non-sequential first chapters
alert the reader to the inner character of the book and its subject,
consciousness.
Like “One hundred zen stories” this book allows you to ponder on high matters without demanding much of you. It’s fun, easy reading with consciousness in mind."
