I enjoyed this novel. The idea of some retired marines turning the tables on some alien abductors and the founding a new country was fresh and novel. I thought the story was realistic and thought provoking in how it addresses the reality of a world coming to grips with not being alone in the universe and preparing to defend itself.  How to manage new alien tech and how to design a better political system were also very engaging themes.  I would ask that the author work a little harder on character development. Main male characters were very similar in dialogue. I would definitely buy a sequel.
