Review: Not As Good As #1
Rating: 3 out of 5

This second book in the trilogy, where the invading aliens are firmly in control of many areas of the Earth, is not as interesting as the first book, and contains some padding to make it novel length, such as the attack on Israel.  That said, it carries the story forward, and is well written, with some interesting characters.  As usual, there is a bit too much unnecessary detail, and because it is not as interesting, the author's tics become more irritating, such as people sweating, scowling, drawing back from doing what they know needs done, allowing them to be seen, I suppose, as moral beings, and people not believing what should be easy to believe, which is simply another form of drawing back from what needs to be done.  In sum, worth a read as a connector between the quite good first part and the reasonably satisfying third part which wraps up the trilogy.
