Helpful Score: 3

When i first saw this book, to be honest, I was on the fence. So I went to Amazon and clicked the 'look in side' link and read the first several pages of the book. If for no other reason, the idea of a computer nerd that spends his days working on websites getting called back to action to fight aliens is what compelled me to order this book.

And I'm glad I did. Even if the title makes no sense, I really enjoyed it. It was a very good book with enjoyable characters (except for the idiots, but its okay because they die eventually).

If I have any real complaint, its that there is too much going on in this book. I understand that a lot has to go on, what with Earth finding out about Aliens on the same day they find out about the war thats coming. There is a lot to prpare for, but some of it just seemed to be for word count.

On the other hand, that fluff will probably be dealt wtih more heavily in the sequential books. At least I hope so. :D
