Aliens landed on earth and every single force, starting obviously with the US, that tried to fight them was wiped out. The only way left to fight back is resistance and it is a nasty war.The Author takes us through the sewers of Chicago and fighting from building to building, to the Middle East and the Israelis, in a war fought without respite. By hand he guides us through a bitter struggle, both phisical and psychological, loosing along the way the last morsels of morality as humanity adapts either collaborating or fighting without any shred of mercy. Hope is masterfully suppressed one little step at time as it would be in a real occupation, as it probably had been for our grandfathers, only to be rekindled in the last pages.Being European I loved that there was more than simply the US involved, Israel and the Middle East are no more than a sling shot from here so who kows what the third installment will bring...A great captivating read, if you haven't read the first book do so for it's surely worth the effort.
