Review: A style with potential.

Although I enjoyed the storytelling, I found it difficult to feel for the characters; it seemed the darker players received most of the development, and that was broken constantly by plot progression that took one step back for every two forward (i.e., frequently having to read through a narration a second time from a different perspective).  I understand the point of the story was the alien incursion, but it never seemed a primary plotline... just a side-event filling in gaps here and there.The ending was disappointing, as well; I understand the intention of a planned sequel; I just do not feel there was enough character resolution or plot advancement to warrant the author's choice of breaking point.Finally, I have to mention that the United Stated Army does nor use, not have they ever used, "Hummers".  A Hummer is a civilian vehicle designed to fulfill the suburban-American need to compensate.  The Army uses the HMMWV, which is vocalized as `Humvee'.  Soldiers slanged it down a bit with `hummer' (lower case), which in turn became the brand name of a General Motors SUV that would be hard pressed to survive 24 hours as a military field vehicle.I'm also an IT professional, and would like to see the author include more in that area in his future works.  Remember, `write what you know'.  ;-)
