This is another great and engaging story by Gene Skellig that takes the reader into the backrooms of governments and the frontline trenches of the Extinction War as here the reader follows the overwhelming Chinese PLA plot to conquer and subdue Australia.  The story is still a little unwieldly at times, maybe trying to cover more ground than is necessary, but the characters are interesting and the action in intense.  As a warning, don't get too attached to some of the minor players as Mr. Skellig seems to enjoy introducing us to characters that then get killed five pages later.  He can definitely hit you with the emotion at times while other passages as as dry as a bone.  This book is a nice follow up to his first "Winter Kill" book and I recommend you read the other one first just for the sake of clarity as they are somewhat interconnected.I paid "full price" for this book and I felt like I sure got my money's worth.  I can't wait for Book Three.
