An alien invasion threatens earth, and it's up to a team of highly skilled professionals to save the earth. A straight forward plot with a feel good ending to boot. I like the effort put into the characters and research. The preparation building up to the ending was satisfying. Some of the best moments for me was the interaction with the haughty scientist and the weapons specialists. Watching those to interact made me laugh as they became reluctant friends.

Most of this book is dedicated to perpetration where the research shines the most. Each character were experts in their fields and I was impressed at how the author knew about various research topics ranging from biology to theoretical physics. I also appreciated how Miller didn't focus on their specialties, but on their personal end as well with each character had their own quirks and shortcomings. The romance however seemed underdeveloped to me, but its quickly made up by their growth into a family.

I wished the children were developed more, but they've moved the plot forward, bringing the story to a satisfying end.

One minor issue I had with the book was the aliens.

With all the preparation and care the defenders took to fend off the alien race, I was expecting them to be a tad bit more mysterious and unpredictable. This is just my opinion. To me, they didn't feel like intelligent superior beings, just idiots with advanced weaponry. But I enjoyed the battles where they meet their defeat to the humans.



It's a cool read from beginning to end and I hope to read more.
