Even though you expect fiction, you are first faced with more than several pages on how governments should disclose the truth about UFO sightings, or how probable it is that aliens to actually exist.

The book is said to work as a standalone, but the story of the first book (that I didn't even know about...) is referenced. The tone is dry, everything is only tell, never show, and there's a lot of "science" talk which... does not seem to be relevant at all to advancing the story, and is quite gross, at that. I do not really want to be reading about how "abducted humans sexually thrust against the vats they're kept in", or how parts of their brain are removed, or the exact process of creating, breeding and extracting babies to be raised.

I thank the publisher for proving a digital review copy of the book in exchange to my honest review.
