This is the third book in the series and in my humble opinion, the best of the three.  By now the reader is familiar with the main characters, we know their strengths and weaknesses.  Unfortunately we also know that for some, whatever trouble they get in they will get out.  That was one of my minor gripes, whilst everyone around them dies, they survive ALWAYS.The next section contains SPOILERS, if you haven't read the book and one of those types that hates to know anything, please look away now!One thing that always surprised me is the simple fact that the USA has one weapon that the enemy is terrified of: the Behemoths tanks.  Although the US still has the capability to churn out massive amounts of hardware, and a complete new battle tank, these tracks saviours are made in a single factory it seems by hand.  No mass production, no multiple factories pouring these things out as fast as they can be made.  You would have thought that after the initial success, the US military industry would be building as many of these things as they could.  Yes having a small finite number suited the plot but didn't suit reality (yes I know, mixing reality in a futuristic novel is never a good idea).Also, an astute reader would consider that the EMP missiles from the second book would be useful to fire against the Chinese, since most of their military are more heavily dependent on technology that the USA.  So why didn't the US try to develop the technology???  I was waiting the entire book to see that trick!!Overall, thoroughly enjoyed the novel and will start the next in the series today.  I just hope the upward trend in the quality of the writing continues.
