Review: It's OK
Rating: 3 out of 5

The whole pace of the novel starts off very slow and doesn't really pick up until the last third of the book. If you are into fast paced books, this isn't for you. Like his other alien invasion series (Outside Context Problem), humans can't win the war. They have to be helped by a rogue/rebel faction of the invaders to overcome the actual invasion. It also has the main limitation of the aliens being logistics although this is highly unreasonable with the aliens being in space and capable of mining the near earth asteroids or even the belt. I understand the points that Mr. Nuttall is trying to make about the human race being unable to successfully defend against an alien invasion, I just don't agree with them from a storytelling perspective. :)As with OCP, this book ends with the invaders settling on areas of Earth, something that I can't see happening in the event of an invasion. The Human Race is just too afraid of differences to accept settlements of aliens under any circumstances after a failed invasion. Otherwise, the scenario is very realistic, too realistic at times. :) It is also entertaining if you can move past the points I have made and enter into suspension of disbelief. Mr. Nuttall is a very good storyteller when all is said and done. This book will provide many hours of reading to anyone who decides to pick it up and finish it.
