Was this book an exciting adventure? Yes. However, there were some serious shortcomings. It seemed very much like it was written by someone who really really loved X-Files and at the same time thinks that the US government is trustworthy. Some of the science is wrong, and some is just far-fetched. I thought that the romance was a poor choice, since it put the reader in the position of choosing sides, which meant that some readers were going to end up being dissatisfied with the ending. Anyway, it was fun, but I doubt I'll read another one by this author. I didn't love X-Files quite that much.

my introduction to this series was actually by reading the latest novel, The Sixth Extinction, so it was nice to get to see the beginnings of Sigma Force. A good read. I like the mix of action and science fiction.

Meh. Not so much my thing. It was sort of like a Dan Brown novel, only with more intelligent science. It was an action flick in novel form, which made it exciting at times, but also meant that it had more explosions and less character development than I generally like.
