Not as much aliens as I thought there would be but I guess that's what you get for half ass reading book summaries

This was actually quite an interesting concept and plot but despite it being barely 300 pages, I feel like there were parts that lagged and could've been cut. Maybe this should've been written more as a novella. I think it would've built the suspense up a bit. I also did find the ending to be somewhat anti-climactic. The conflict of being cut off from the literal EARTH thinking World War III has erupted is absolutely terrifying but then the ending took a pretty traditional trope twist and I just went "...oh...that...that was really why we did this whole thing?"
