Title: Don't waste your time
Review: I forced myself through the first "chapter", and those were the most painful 46 pages I've read in ages. I enjoy good science fiction, but this book isn't good anything. The technique of introducing multiple characters in differing situations whose paths through the plot will intertwine is poorly executed. The characters were flat, uninteresting, unengaging. The entire first section was rushed and boring, as if even the author didn't really care and just wanted to get the framework in place as quickly as possible. Mr. Dietz needs to read "Footfall" again, to see how this unoriginal approach to alien invasions can be written as an interesting novel.
