I have always been a big fan of Armageddon stories and upon finding this, a well received book on the premise at a $.99 price, I didn't have to think too long before grabbing it up.  Now, after buying and devouring the remaining four of the series, I have finally rested up enough to stop here and give this book and the remaining four sequels a hearty well done.For the elitist readers that become apoplectic when they come across a spelling or grammatical error, you should probably skip this; the series suffers from the editing that is prevalent among many self published books.  I am certainly glad that I don't have this affliction and can enjoy the story the way it is.This book is not "reality" apocalypse, this is hard core science fiction.  Earth awakes to an invasion by alien forces of many shapes and forms. Some are advanced, elite soldiers, some are mindless creatures that crush, rend, and devour the populace. I falls on one man, previously an unpretentious, quiet spoken car salesman that only dreams of a normal family life,  to accept the gifts of a mysterious mentor and become the one that leads mankind from the edge of extinction to the verge of retaking back our world.The many characters are diverse and interesting and most have their own wonderful stories of survival and redemption.  The storyline continues to fly across all five books to a thundering and satisfying conclusion.  Seldom did the pacing slow down and never did it fail.  I have recommended this series to many friends and all of them have enjoyed.I am not sure how well this would hold up if you don't want to commit to the entire series, these books read like a cliff-hanger serial of movies theaters past.  But for anyone willing to take the time to read the whole story, I can assure you of a ride with the investment.
