For me, Battlefield was an enjoyable read.  It is straight out fantasy fiction, but it was told in a believable manner, and it was easy to lose myself in the story.  I liked our three teen main characters....their characters were done exceptionally well and I liked all three.  I was not as enamoured with their alien, Alan with a long surname.  Maybe he was supposed to be a weaker character, but it wasn't until near the end, that he seemed to grow into his position of leader.  I did enjoy the storyline, there was enough action and adventure and enough of the main characters trying to determine how much of themselves to give to the cause.  Because kids their age were dying and disappearing, they committed and agreed to help in the battleground Earth fight.  I assume there will be a sequel or maybe even more as the book ended abruptly with Orlando's date with the perky Tait, blonde cheerleader.  I wonder if he should trust her?  Hmmmm....good book!
