I really enjoyed the characters in this story. My favorite was the baby alien, Crocadelia. It was a relatively short read but the drama and action sequences were pretty well paced for the most part. I really liked the subplot of a serial killer within the unit.

An emphasis on violence in this book! I loved that part about that book. The only things that keep me away from enjoying it much more was some of the characters feel bland. And the murder mystery was relatively quickly. But I love the action when it happen and how brutal it was. Quick read and awesome action.

3.75 stars SIEGE by Robert Desimone Jr is a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi thriller set in the year 2096.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise including graphic violence, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from third person perspective SIEGE focuses on Unit 27 Romeo, a group of 19 nineteen humans conscripted to protect an isolated military supply depot called The Krag. With very little experience between them, and hundreds if not thousands of androids surrounding the depot, the rag tag team of unskilled and non-miliary fighters are forced to defend something they know nothing about. One by one, each member of Unit 27 Romeo is plucked off and killed, and some begin to suspect a killer from within. A war between the humans and the aliens reveals a secret hidden deep within the Earth’s surface, a secret that may threaten the existence of the rest of humanity.
SIEGE is a quick read; a story focusing on an alien invasion of Earth wherein the inhabitants of Earth are struggling to survive, struggling against an enemy who themselves are battling to thrive. The fast paced premise is dramatic, imaginative and tragic ; the characters are energetic, ill-fated but determined.
