Blurb: “The unforgettable saga that began with A Matter for Men here continues the adventures of Jim McCarthy, peacetime soldier and scientist, as he serves with the Special Forces in the increasingly desperate war against the Chtorran invaders who seek, by restructuring Earth's ecology, to "terraform" our planet to an alien design.
Nothing less than a blowtorch can kill the thousand-pound, wormlike, man-eating Chtorrans. As A Day for Damnation begins, McCarthy fights a growing sense of impotence. Repeated confrontations have failed to stop the spread of Chtorran infestations, resulting in stalemate, grim retreat, and a tragic loss of human life.
But as McCarthy's quest continues, a series of harrowing encounters. results in unexpected insight into the nature of the enemy. It may still be possible to communicate with the Chtorrans, find alternatives to the blowtorch, and conquer the alien horror that could yet annihilate the world.
With this rapid-fire saga of adventure, heroism, and unsurpassed horror, David Gerrold, author of the popular Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" and the Hugo and Nebula awards-nominated novel When Harlie Was One, establishes himself as a master in the tradition of Gordon Dickson, Joe Haldeman, and Robert A. Heinlein.”
