Definitely one of his weaker books, but even the weaker books are ridiculously readable, so I finished this in just two sittings. First book of his that I've read which included alien activity, but it stayed true to its own universe, so I'll buy it.

The book was totally not what I expected based on the title! This book was on sale for about a dollar at the university library, I knew I liked other novels by Sidney Sheldon, and I was interested in apocalyptic-sort of books which the word "doomsday" in the title evoked. So I got it. I enjoyed the story. The pacing was right, the characters were believable, and I rooted for them. The actual plot idea, however, was rather too simple, so I'm not as satisfied as I might have been.
