Having previously read Arc Light by this author I was thinking this would be pretty decent. Now having finished Invasion I can say its better than just pretty decent.

Whilst the novels background of a Chinese military assault slowly conquering the world requires one to set aside the realities of them actually being able to hold places mentioned like India, putting the background aside the setting for a Chinese invasion of America is quite well done with the manoeuvres being written in such a way that they seem realistic as opposed to fantastic.

The fighting scenes whilst good don't take over the book leaving plenty of space for the Chinese and American political intrigues not to feel like an afterthought that's squeezed in.

My only real complaint is that the ending seemed quite abrupt, would have really liked to see another 100-150 pages or a follow up novel. ( )

Where is the sequel? ( )

I actually liked this war novel. It helped that women were soldiers, and that it's almost dystopian (China invades the USA). ( )

no joy. having the antagonist to absurdly have their way that nearly something ex deus will make a return to status quo...makes not a good read. ( )
