This is an interesting SF series, the second volume of which is a Kindle discount book.This is popular mechanism today to get readers into a series ... make one of the works discounted ($1.99) so that the others may be sold at a higher price.Character developement is reasonable, if somewhat repetitive throughout the series and there are a few continuity issues that the author seemed to try to correct not by re-writing but adding explainatory lines later.The later volumes attempt to give some alien psychology but this does not really work well except as a device to explain the lack of focus in the alien attacks.  Since the military situation given was like if Luxembourg seriously went to war with the US and NATO at the same time there is a need to explain why so little resources were expended.  The author seems also to shift his thinking on this from the early to the later volumes.
