POSSIBLE SPOILER.... When I reviewed the first book, I mentioned the numerous mispellings and improper word usage; unfortunately, that didn't change. What did change? Well, the story was even less palatable, I am sure that every person with real military experience that reads this would cringe at the idea that a few weeks of warfare would completely negate all military discipline. The two worst culprits, beyond the unrealistic adaptation of alien tech, were... A. We went from a faceless, nameless enemy, to one that automatically understands; 1. english, and 2. that bad guys take time in a fight to monologue, and, dare I say it; shoot the weapon out of an attackes hand! B. on the last page, after detonating a nuke in effectively the same room as earlier said monologing bad guy, Taylor expects; 'this may not be the last time he sees him...' WHAT??? Anyway, Is it too much to ask to use spell check? Two stars, because I could at least stand to finish, even though it was a dissapointimg one.
