David Gerrold started an interesting series of SF books - War Against the Chtorr - with a similar premise, but the invasive species were a deliberate attack by aliens. "Terraformation", but the other way around.
Unfortunately the series went off the rails and is unfinished after a few decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_Against_the_Chtorr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_Against_the_Chtorr
- jawilson2 3y agoOne of my favorite series in the 90s in high school! I had the same mental connection you did. Gerrold also wrote the "Trouble With Tribbles" episode of the original Star Trek, which is similar to the Chtorr books. From what I understand, Gerrold had a son with severe learning disabilities and was unable to finish it. Which sucks, but I also understand. ...and reading that wiki link, I see 1 or 2 books are in the works, though no updates since 2017 or so. I'll put this fact in my GRRM bin for now.
