I bought it for a dollar and I'm a fan of alien invasion/apocalyptic fiction. This book started pleasantly enough. Some of the plot twists could be seen from a mile away, but I don't mind that too much. Finally, the plot was a bit too simplistic, but it was okay read. It is apparently, part of a 17 book series. We will see how long I last, but I did buy the second book for what it's worth.
