Why read it?

1 author picked The Recruitment as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A dark read of alien invasion and induction. Not really a feel good story but one that pulled me in and kept me reading volume after volume. Chatfield is on my list of "read (almost) everything authors" and he did not disappoint me on this one. A classic tale of ratcheting stakes, ever more powerful enemies, and even more powerful friends. Power armor fans will like this one.
