Science Fiction Encyclopedia described this as a "hard-edged" tale of the 24th-century conquest of Earth by an alien empire the humans had judged too stupid to pull off such a coup.

The battle to liberate Earth is fought by those few with the aid of a vengeful ghost called "Gremper" by the aliens.

“Wow! This is the 19th book in the Quilters Club series. And I’ve loved every single one of them. I’m pleased to tell you this one is among my favorites, a mixture of Shakespeare, and old cases, and kids home from college (can you believe Aggie and N’yen are already in college?) …” —Marcy Birdweather, Marcy’s Musings “So, fair reader, if thou seeketh an escapade woven with the fabric of mystery, wherein the charm of quilting doth intertwine with the riddles of the unknown, then verily, this be the book to enrapture thy senses and enthrall thy soul.” —W.
