I'm maybe halfway through book 6, spoiler is for book 5 though.
It's probably for the best that this show is a ~lock to only get one more season, the books get a bad case of filler-plot-itis. Like Vegasville's spoiler should get stapled to the monitors of the authors.
Book 5, especially, had no alien mystery in it at all. If you skipped the first 3 books and started from 4 it's like an entirely separate trilogy that introduces the gate and then tells us about a civil war with like 15 pages of cameos by proto-molecule ****. They also caught George RR Martin's disease where he keeps adding characters faster than he removes them.
