This book was a really strange read. Sci-fi should have a sub category called "super deluxe sci-fi", and this one could be the book that sets the bar. The author did a good job laying out the plot and I found my self wanting to keep turning the pages. Scott Sigler is creative, I'll give him that, but wow.. what a weirdo! (view spoiler)[Something that resembles a virus infects people with triangle shaped sores that then make the person infected act insane. They also cause this person to hear voices in their head that make him/her do crazy things like tell people that "Columbo is going to come for his triangles!" and then kill everyone with hatchets. Turns out that the voices are really the triangles talking and they end up being aliens who hatch out of the skin and look like little pyramids with jelly fish like leg tentacles. They all want to get together to build a doorway to space to let in other hostile aliens. Then the soldiers/Comlumbo save the day and blow them all up, but there are more and we are left with a cliff hanger. I was hoping that at the end we would find out that all the crazy talk about the triangle aliens was just a really bad trip that the infected dude was having and that it was just a bad virus all along, but no. This book really was about triangle shaped aliens who hatch out of humans and try to take over the world. (hide spoiler)] 
 Writing was all over the place and the characters were lifeless to me. Recommended if you like really cheesy alien books, have anger problems, or have a fascination with triangles. :)
