The War Against the Chtorr -- A book series review for stuff I haven't read

While I was googling for images of the Reddit admin Chtorrr, I came across a Wikipedia article for "The War Against the Chtorr."

This totally-not-Alien book series started off planned as a trilogy, but it was so good and compelling that the author dragged it out much further.

Here are the highlights from the first book in the series:

• Humanity has nearly been wiped out by a virus

• "Narrator and protagonist Jim McCarthy and his friend/colleague/occasional s*x partner Ted Jackson are a young half-trained researchers attached to a squad of soldiers tasked with clearing the Colorado wilderness of nests of large and predatory "worms," one of the relatively better-known species of Chtorrans.

plot?

• Jim (protagonist) brings back alien eggs and some hatchlings from the Chtorr species

• He goes back to Denver, now the US Capitol. I guess he wants to research the eggs and bugs there?

• He gets recruited by a group called "Uncle Ida" who kill Chtorr and kill anyone who is against killing Chtorr

• Jim shows off his dumb bugs to international dignitaries

• A bug gets loose and kills lots of important people and wounds Jim

• Jim goes to the hospital

• He realizes that the Uncle Ira group plotted this to happen so further their anti-Chtorr agenda

I don't know why anyone would need to be an extremist like this when humanity is already on the brink of extinction after a virus and is under invasion by bug monsters from outer space.

• Ted -- Jim's friend who he sometimes fricks -- joins the Telepath Corps

• Jim fully joins the Uncle Ira group so he can continue to study and eliminate Chtorr nests

I can't wait till my next work break to read the rest!
