"He was gentle in his handling, something I wouldn’t expect from a six-foot-tall man." Really? Big men are all brutes?First, the army has developed a genetically modified soldier - to do what? Just be studied? Why aren't the using him as a soldier by this point? At first, he has apparently been raised in isolation - if so, would he even be sane? Then suddenly he's an alien among a group of them all living and serving within the army for the last 60+ years. And Noel is half alien with a full-alien brother on the same base. Plus there's a bunch of some other kind of alien living within the same army base and preying on people. The whole thing is just nonsensical.Then it seems they operate in terms of a negotiated arrangement with the US Army; next they say it's essential they remain undetected. And the army agreement is so they can get access to radium - to ingest! Even if that could be so, doesn't that make them radioactively toxic to the humans around them?The English is also really awful - turgid sentences full of grandiose words, which are also often misused."Before he could bleed to death from the visceral wound, Killian curled his hands around Quinn’s head and elicited the final jerk."
