I am starting to feel fully involved now: I have a growing and burning hate for the antagonists. This can only means the book was well written. The plot's scope broadens by a couple order of magnitude with the mysterious veil behind the identity of the enemy raised. They are truly despicable, but just as truly dangerous. An interesting protagonist from the beginning this time, and the book ends on a very dark note, which almost felt like a cliffhanger - Hope this does not begin a trend, as I am of the firm opinion that cliffhangers are never needed, and books should be self-contained even within series - Humanity achieves a temporary and Pyrrhic victory, and as much as the technology available to man has grown exponentially, the precious human capital is being decimated just as quickly. This sets the tone for the next book.
