Review: Better than Independance Day
Rating: 5 out of 5

When I first started to read these books I was thinking - Oh boy another stupid Independence Day scenario.  However, as I got into the books, the characters and the capabilities they used to fight the aliens were reasonable.  There were no Mac computers placing a virus into an alien mother ship (absurd or what!).  Just good hard working soldiers getting killed with weapons not equal to their enemy.  When they did develop different technologies they were still within the realm of reality.I like a good sci-fi that is creative in the far future (Dune).  However, when it is not so far in the future, I would rather see a book like these.The character interaction, their feeling toward each other and the pain they went though with their accomplishments made these books.I went from not liking them to something I could not put down!
