oh, in case this needs more context, Williamson was the favorite author of insane maniac Jack Parsons -- follower of Crowley, friend of Hubbard, hot shit antichrist rock scientist.
I read his novel Lifeburst. It had something to do with a pregnant interstellar space insect eating all of the satellites that were attached to Earth's equator by hundreds of miles of polymer wire. Oh, and some friendly aliens that lived in the Oort Cloud. Or something like that.
Unless someone asserts that his other books were much better, I'd recommend avoiding him.
