The Product Description does a good job of describing what the novel is about - the only problem was with the delivery.The Good:- The book does start out good with the details and scenes described so that the reader can visualize the destruction and misery taking place on earth.  Very good set up.- The introduction of the aliens is also pretty good and scary introducing a capture theme to the short story.- The book did have some good moments.- I didn't hate the book.- I did finish the book.The Bad:- It seem that most of the writing effort was in the first part of the book and then seem to lose stream and not be fleshed out as well in the second half of the book.- I never felt the connection between the two main characters.- A lot of actions scenes were forced into the 2nd half of the book so that the ending seemed rushed - a quick ending leading to the second book in the series.Unfortunatly, if the book was to entice the reader into reading the next book in the series, it failed for me.  While I did not hate the book and it was not the worse that I have read, I have read shorter books that were more developed overall than this one for a better price.  I don't expect a best seller for this price but it's not worth the money I paid for it.
