Set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after an occupation by an extra-terrestrial force, Captive State explores the lives on both sides of the conflict - the collaborators and dissidents.
Like every major city in 2027, Chicago is under the control of alien invaders, but a ragtag band of human insurgents is putting up resistance. Despite plenty of action, it's more cerebral social commentary than blood-and-guts sci-fi thriller. - Three stars
