Always a pleasure to read a story from Brunner, one of my personal favorites of the sci-fi genre. This one revolves around a group of scientists trying to unlock the secrets to these alien cities that have come to Earth and left it in ruin by detonating all fissionable material. There are now small villages scattered around the world, some nearby these alien cities. They need to figure out the secret of the alien artifacts and get into these alien cities before the advancing Russian militia takes over the US. Like most of his books, this is quite enjoyable throughout and ends in a way you don't really suspect.
