When I was in high school, I read a chilling and memorable sci-fi novel called Cold Allies by author Patricia Anthony.

Released in 1993, the book depicts a futuristic world war between nations while the combatants come to terms with alien visitors who decide that global war is the best time to stop by and say hi.
