If you've read Mech 1 and 2, you've read this book.  As usual, Larson has created a quick and enjoyable read, but it's just too similar to Mech 1 and 2 for my taste.The exact same aliens once again are too stupid to win.  The invaded planet is riven with internal dissent and manage to eke out a victory after much of the population is killed.  The human protagonists are either the same people or near enough that you can't tell the difference.If it's been awhile since you've read any of the previous books, you could go back and re-read them and get the plot of this book and the value of the story for no extra money.Mr. Larson, if you expect people to keep buying the next book in the series, please vary the plot at least a litlle.  Mech 1 was a very inventive and enjoyable read.  Mech 2 and 3 appear to be rewrites of the same story with diffent planet names.  You're better than that.
