for the first action book i've read in a while it was packed with it. also great for people who haven't played the game it's based on as it gives good description of the characters. And from a person who hates reading politics The political side of things was quick, to the point and interesting.

So.. Ok. I don't know how to evaluate this overall so I'm just gonna throw details at you.
Writing: mostly decent with a few awkward spots. Not poetic or anything, but mostly unobtrusive, except for the aforementioned clumsy places.
Plot/story: I would have appreciated some more background setting, when the aliens have first invaded and are taking over various places. It felt like the book jumped into the middle of things, but that makes sense since you're probably supposed to know the background already from the video game off which it's based. The story is mostly battles strung together with a few scenes of human interest/state of governance/"romance" (yo, you gotta develop it or I won't believe it) interspersed. The supporting characters were pretty believable and human, but I can't say I was too sad when they died? And that ending. Way too sudden.
I will stop being a complaining potato now. Overall it was pretty decent, a good fluff action read.
