For two millennia, mankind expanded throughout the stars, becoming bigger, stronger – eventually covering five percent of the galaxy. Then the Ga came – a race of catlike beings bent on conquering and enslaving other species in an effort to expand their military might and galactic dominance. The Ga have bigger ships, better weapons, multitudes more manpower, more advanced technology, and a social structure made for war. All humanity has is a history of ingenuity and survival. Will humanity survive the coming battles that will determine their fate, as well as the fate of all the races in the Milky Way? Warlord's Invasion is about military men and women in a conflict engulfing tens of thousands of light years – in interstellar space, inside a star system, on planets and space stations, and within the warships themselves.** Views: 51
"By the time this present group of stories was written I had passed through the cultural turbulence that engulfed nearly everyone s life in the wild, stormy period we know as 'the Sixties,' which for me had actually lasted from 1968 to 1974 or 1975. I had come through my own angry four-year-long retirement from writing in the middle 1970s, and was working again at a steady pace, though not with the frenetic prolificacy of the pre-retirement years. At the beginning of this period my personal life was still pretty chaotic, a carryover from all that Sixties madness, and plenty of new chaos was going to descend on me while some of these stories were written, but I was tiptoeing toward an escape from the various messes that were complicating my life, and by the time the last five stories of this volume were being written I was heading into the stability of my second marriage." -Robert Silverberg, from his Introduction Views: 51

As prophetic as it is exciting, Idoru takes us to 21st century Tokyo where both the promises of technology and the disasters of cyber-industrialism stand in stark contrast, where the haves and the have-nots find themselves walled apart, and where information and fame are the most valuable and dangerous currencies.
