Steven K. (Pintoflounder) reviewed The title page is misleading it states on 5/31/2009

The book centers on little Stephie Roberts, fresh out of High School, drafted into the U.S. Army to repel the Chinese invasion of the United States.

Battle field descriptions of Stephie's war making, actually ring true. Soldier language and infantry tactics did put me in the midst (mist?) of the fighting. Since the invasion occurs in the future, the tactical and strategic weaponry are futuristic and plausible. But the background plots of the American and Chinese leadership that intertwine with Stephie's personal life is implausible. Though implausible, it wasn't distracting, because it was surreal. Would Salvador Dali's melting clocks be a distraction?

This book is a fast read that would quickly pass the time if you're stranded at the airport or waiting in the unemployment line.
