Alien incompetence is all that allows the well-described action to take place, though their motivations are only vaguely hinted at best.  We are gradually introduced to the human first-contact strategy, and how it is pursued with tactics most unlikely to be successful.  We are also led, gradually, to the surprise ending concerning one of the terrans - a device the author handles pretty well.
