I have listened to the first two books in this series, The first was a common trope for science fiction about cosmic invaders and how Earth survivors cope. The characters were interesting, and their situations somewhat unusual. The narrator did a good job of enhancing a relatively lackluster story.

In this seond book, howeve, things change. The storyline reverts back to the old storyline of the crazy military who does not care about the civilians, so not the characters must fight the military and the invaders almost become secondary. I stuck with this until towards the end. Len, one of the main characters, suddenly chenged about two hours before the end of this book. The narrator changed his voice. Len was apparently from Nigeria. We don’t know if he was native of Niigeria or had American parents, but the change in voice dropped an octave and his manner became more stilted and less sure.

Pammy Mays’ transition, however, was so far beyond the ability to suspect disbelief thatthe story was no longer coherent or made sense. I can see the foreshawing the author is putting in place for the future books, but the story is no longer of interest to me.
