Truly just a complete waste of a book. Where as most trashy books of its ilk have the high points be the action, this book was the complete opposite. The action is bogged down with a tedious overuse of military terms and breakdown of unit compositions, leading you to become detached to the story. The non-action bits at least have the benefit of introducing some interesting ideas but the book doesn't really play with them in any meaningful way.
A switch in perspective to the NOD side would have REALLY helped this book as we get RANDOM aliens in the last 50 pages and it just felt like a complete waste of a much more interesting plot (Nod and the GDI teaming up).
I've never played the games so maybe for fans of the series this would work but as a book it was mindnumbingly boring.
