I have read at least two series now where Humans turn out to be strong or essential or something like it.  I liked the last one I read "The Spirit of Empire" series sort of stretched it a bit.  Even "Temporary Duty" sort of cast the humans as slightly superior in some aspects.And then I get this one that repeats the same theme again and does not do it quite so well.  It was entertaining however it just didn't make me want to get the second book.  I did sort of like the alien characters however the Earth terrorist connotations did leave me cold.  Is this really a GI Joe V Evil Terrorists book?  Why is the villian a, quite possibly muslim, terrorist and the hero a USA Navy Seal?The references to the current problems in the Middle East sort of really turned me off in the end.
