Yellow Eyes (Human-Posleen War Series #8) Book

[On a bit of a side-note: the Darhel are still portrayed as "evil incarnate" who do not want to give up any of their power or control of the universe. They desperately need humanity to survive against the Posleen invasion, yet the continually sabotage the Earth's efforts to defend itself against the alien invaders. The Darhel continue to seek out the crooked, the morally bankrupt, the cheats, the scoundrels, the selfish, in order to sabotage the Terran defenses. For beings that are supposedly as smart as they are, they are incredibly stupid. They are saving "the worst' the Earth "has to offer" in hopes that these selfish individuals will be willing to give up their own lives, if needed, to continue to defend the Galactic civilization? The Darhel have to be all kinds of stupid-crazy if they honestly believe the humans they are saving will be willing to die to save the universe. These humans have already betrayed their own species, their own "race", to the Posleen invaders! Why would the Darhel think the humans would act any way differently than they did to ensure the survival of their own skins from the invasion on Earth? It got real old, real quick, constantly reading about how the Darhel want the least amount of humans to survive the invasion; they only wanted "just enough" to continue to fight/hold back the Posleen without considering the costs of what their decisions were bringing about. They should have tried to save as many of the military personnel, at the very least, as possible, instead of abandoning the military. Ah, well. I didn't write the story.

On a "second note" - the authors continue Ringo's "trait" of using (some of) the last words/phrases/sentences from "one" scene as the opening line of the very next scene. It happens throughout the entire book. I cannot decide if I like it or not, or if it just becomes "annoying" because of how often it is used. Perhaps if there were some kind of "point" to it all as opposed to the author trying to be "clever" in his storytelling? It is creative and clever, make no mistake, but the author abuses it to the point of distraction (I felt, this time around reading the book). (hide spoiler)]
