anyone who's intrigued by the title
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.

Scifi buffs

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.
