review 1: My reason for choosing this book was that it sounded interesting. Well turns out the book is based in Australia. The war with the aliens is going on and has been a stalemate for years so it is external conflict. Chiznall is dynamic from the begging to the end. He was strong, caring, good actor, and observant. "Brogan!" Chisnall tried to keep the relief out of his voice. "Are you okay?"(Falkner 196). The theme was basically I think impossible is nothing. One connection to the book is they are about my age (Falkner 104). Another is that they are good with guns like me (Falkner 36). The last one is that they can shoot fairly well(Falkner 46). My favorite main character was probably Chiznall mainly because he was the leader. Another theme is saw was to watch who you trust. My ... moreoverall opinion of the book is that it is a great one. Mostly in part to the fact that it kept me entertained and in the book the entire time. I would recommend this book to my friends because it was good army book and most of my friends like that kind of stuff.
review 2: I thought that this book was really interesting and how a turn of events can decide a life or death situation. From the beginning where someone tried to kill the leader of the Recon Team, Chisnall to infiltrating the alien base to end the war, it was a turn of events that nobody expected. Chisnall thought that everything went the way it was supposed to. But Chisnall thought wrong. He ended up almost getting caught by the enemy until he and his crew changed costumes. They also thought they had enough time to get out of the alien base until a nuclear warhead started ticking down and almost killed the whole Recon Team and innocent human children and adults. Nothing went in their favor except making it out alive and heading back to the United States for confirmation that the mission was a success. less
