Summary
Find the missing. Fear the found.
Three months have passed since the aliens' arrival, but little has changed in the skies. Motherships still hover, impervious to attack and communication. Spherical shuttles ferry about with unclear intentions. But the abductions of select humans have ended, and most of those taken have been returned - dazed, incoherent, and prophesying glory or doom, but home where they belong.
Still, nine seemingly unconnected people remain missing.
Trapped in their besieged bunker outside Vail, Piper, Trevor, Lila, and Heather wait for one.
All of this has happened before....
For his entire life, Benjamin Bannister has sought the connections uniting the planet's ancient wonders. And for years he's pursued evidence that extraterrestrial life isn't new to Earth. For years he was dismissed as a fool. Now the spheres have arrived, and Benjamin has found vindication...along with troubling theories. His research facility rests on a paranormal hotspot in Moab, Utah - but Vail, Colorado is where his interests lie. He's sent an emissary to Meyer Dempsey's ranch to find out what makes the Missing Nine so special to the planet's invaders. What news will those nine bring when they return? And what, as the motherships again move like pieces finding positions on a chessboard, will happen next?
And...it will all happen again.
Vail and Moab, Moab and Vail - two epicenters in the cold alien war. The locations' fates seem somehow intertwined as Earth's clock ticks toward midnight. The roads and communications have been closed, but now it seems that the planet's future might depend on a journey from one to the other, no matter the cost. Humanity must find the value of those who have been taken...or become mere fossil evidence for future archaeologists to puzzle over.

Absolutely fantastic
This has been a very enjoyable series so far and I never thought I'd get hooked on an Alien invasion story spanning some seven volumes. Part of my reason for immediately liking this series is because of the performance of the always brilliant Ray Porter. in fact to be honest I only found this series as it was on his book list. I know there's one more book with Mr Porter reading but then a new voice takes over for Vol 4 through 7.

Starts slowly...
... then burns slowly for three quarters of the novel, finally getting a bit of pace towards the back end. Enjoyable though and intriguing enough to make me want to find out what happens next.

Quite entertaining
Narrator is great in my opinion. Story quite good and keeping you interested, although sometimes I had that feeling, that the story slows down. Kind of like in TV dramas when presumably creators have to slow the pace to not reveal too much in just one episode. Apart from that, pretty good and I enjoyed it very much.

It's like pulling teeth
Firstly, the narration is excellent. Female voices are a bit weak but this doesn't detract too much from his overall performance. The story however, is just too drawn out and has far too much detailed dialogue and focuses on the characters too much, which kills the pace of the book. And when you consider that each book is only 10 hours, it feels like 3 or 4 10-hour books should be consolidated into 1 20-hour book. I'll probably continue reading but only because i want to know how the story develops.

So is the world ending, or what?
The first book in this series introduced a very muted alien invasion. The motherships just hovered there, not doing a great deal. Meanwhile, society responded by falling apart. I'm not entirely sure this is a viable plot premise -- my feeling is that if alien motherships arrived, most people would be taking photos for Instragram, or trying to find ways to use them for advertising. Maybe the destruction of society is what we deserve.
This second book focuses on mostly the same characters, although some new people and places are introduced. The characterization is mostly reasonably convincing, and the narrator renders most of the dialog well.
The problem is -- nothing really happens. Are the aliens going to invade, or not? We don't get a whole lot of new information, and it seems that most of the characters are just running around in circles most of the time. About half-way through I wondered if I would bother listening to the rest. I did, as it happens, but I didn't get a whole lot out of it.
I don't feel hugely motivated to read the next book in the series. If I'm shipwrecked on a desert island with it, I probably will; otherwise, probably not.

Terrific
I really enjoyed this book - it picks up where Book 1 leaves off, and continues the story.
Still full of drama, and we get to know the characters better. Like Book 1, I finished it in one day.
So - why only 4 stars? it's still great but I don't feel quite as compelled to race on to Book 3. I'll take a break first.
All beautifully written, the rhythm of it is very pleasing.

Drags on and on and on.
The story is OK but as with the first book it drags on. This book got boring really quickly and I couldn't even get through it, so much so I returned it. That said I really like the narrator.
