This book is about people getting infected by these strange spores that comes to life once it gets into the body, borrowing your body's raw materials to react a living organism that worms into your nervous system including your brain, and through chemical processes and neural-tapping starts to control the person. I love the detail to science, and then you see what it does to a person when the books follow this wonderful character by the name of Perry Dawsey, who was this HUGE ex-football player who could have easily become a major NFL star if not for a devastating knee injury. Well, this guy is TOUGH, and even as he gets infected, he becomes the only character that you feel has some hope of coming against these impossibly adaptable entities. The characters are 3 dimensional and you really get riveted into these people, but also the science, the military response, and the mystery of finding out what these organisms actually are. It reads like a movie, if someone makes this into a movie w/o changing any of the storyline, it would be an awesome movie. I had so much fun reading this, and became obsessed about reading the next book.
