It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect. The rest of the series gets progressively worse, until by the time I got to book 7 i no longer cared about any of the characters and just wished it would stop. Books 8 and 9 are ok, but they don't follow the same storyline exactly.

This first volume, though, i would definitely reccommend to any sci-fi enthusiast. The thing that makes it unique from the vast majority of sci-fi, and i'm not saying this hasn't been done before, is that it makes use of ...more

I'm reading this at the moment but don't really expect too much from it. I mainly want to read some of the others in the series because I think they might be interesting. Yeah, I know, it's going to suck and I'll be all "LAME" but until then I'll hope for a fun sci-fi adventure novel which is what it looks like.

This was a fun book and it plays on quite a few of the conspiracy theories that have been floating for years. I believe I will read the 2nd book in the series shortly.

A fun, quick read. Cool tie in to all of the well known alien conspiracy theories and moves at a fast pace. Not deep thinking fare, but a fun ride.

These books have the lamest covers I have ever seen and yet they are some of the best scifi I ever read. Go figure hehehe.
