Title: More than a little thin
Review: I just finished reading a copy of this book loaned from a friend. I should have listened to his warning "don't read this unless you are desparate" but had to take an unexpected businness trip so what the heck.The writing is sloppy - similar to what I would have written if I were still in High School. Little character development, little plot and almost no closure. Apart from the aliens having better infantry weapons, they exhibit no sense of tactics, organization or military dicipline.There were several miliary mistakes - like the sidewinder missles and a mention of a CH-53 as an "attack" helicopter. Simple simple fact checking that wasn't done.My issue is that WW3 really was a bunch of isoilated skirmishes using only light weapons and squad tactics. Even those were not well described. No mention of weapons other than rifles, apparently our armed forces cannot bring standoff weapons to bear so when the aliens show up we revert to pre-artillery warfare. Don;t waste your time
