The author gives us no reason to care about anyone in this novel. We don't get to know the people and, even at the end, we don't know how much of what is described in (what we will loosely define as) "the plot" is real. I found the writing ragged with the plot loose and all over the place. Ken Goddard has not thought deeply about this book before he wrote it, in my opinion. He "just wrote" and this drivel is what he ended up with. For the record, this is a story of humans tracking down the bad aliens who are causing citizens to disappear. I wish this book had disappeared before I read it.
