(It has been many years since I've read them) It seems to me Marsden's intention was to make it impossible to identify an invader as the 'likely suspects' according to his comments about region etc are unlikely to have an army with such a diverse ethnic make up.

Hell sounds a lot like the Majura-Sutton corridor. I always liked the fact that the invaders were unnamed. Considering when the book was written to when this film will be released it has allowed Marsden's work to be relevant to changing politics. 'Naming' things in a work of fiction always dates them- which can be great in adult fiction but my teenage students hate reading anything that feels dated to them.
