Goodreads has 480 books with the title Alien Invasion. Different books; same title. So chances are you’ve read at least one of them. Books of this subgenre speak to our instinctive need to protect and defend the clan. They can also be calling us to go out and conquer those who do not belong to our clan.

Books on Alien Invasions are written for all ages. The list below contains adult SF as well as YA, Middle Reader, Children and even picture books. There is an erotica listed, but my computer blocked the website so I couldn’t list the ISBN or ASIN.

Alien Invasions can also be us against them. We humans are the invading hordes. Those are great!

Alien Invasions can be terrifying, sickening, fascinating, hilarious, successful or not, and very very probable. The best ones leave you re-evaluating your survival skills.
