Zelenka, I had the same problem with my second book. I just wanted it to be different from the first and kept running into a brick wall. Finally, after 5 failed attempts, I sat down and asked my MC how she wanted it to go and then it started flowing. Just put it aside for a bit of time, maybe a week, then go back to it with fresh eyes. You can do it.
Irritating thing is, I decided to write some chapters from the antagonist's POV, and those just flowed, and I think are some of the best work I've done in ages. Maybe my MC is jealous...
I think I've had this put aside longer than I've actually worked on it, if I add it all up!
Just sayin'.
And maybe your antagonist is the MC.

Hmn, antagonist's an internationally wanted terrorist. His storyline is more the subplot. He couldn't become the main MC without basically scrapping the whole story and doing a different genre of book, I don't think. Admittedly, scrapping this thing is actually becoming a strong possibility... Main problem is the amount of infodumping that's creeping in, getting in the way of the character stuff. If I can figure out how to get the character across and the setting, as it's a weird setting, and also keep the plot moving, then I'm on a roll...
