Product Description
Life on earth has changed forever, as humans and their courageous robotic allies, the Autobots, must warily work together to protect the planet from the destructive forces of the evil Decepticons. At the headquarters of NEST, tech sergeant Epps and captain Lennox both guard and assist cyberneticist Kaminari Ishihara and the brooding Russian AI genius Petr Andronov as they explore the differences between organics and bots. All around them, alliances fray, distrust grows, suspicions mount, and traitors come out of the shadows.
Meanwhile, Optimus Prime, the powerful leader of the Autobots who is also part of NEST, plays defense, as battles flare up from Australia to Zambia. But escalating Decepticon attacks will culminate in a final confrontation from which no one—man or machine—will emerge unscathed.

Good, but not great, May 3 2009
By T. Cox - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Transformers The Veiled Threat (Mass Market Paperback)
This book could have been better, but as it stands, it's a suitable lead-in for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." There are familiar characters, such as Autobots Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Ironhide and humans Epps and Lennox as well as new characters and some others from the first movie, which are spoilerish, so I won't mention them here.The plot isn't great--the book could have used fewer humans and more Cybertronians as well as a little more backstory for how everyone ended up where the are. Hopefully the novelization of the movie, as well as the movie itself will help with this.
All in all, it was a decent read. As I said, not great.

Formula writting, Aug 29 2009

This review is from: Transformers The Veiled Threat (Mass Market Paperback)
Foster is cleaver with language but this story has very little imagination. The characters do the same thing over and over (fight).

This review is from: Transformers The Veiled Threat (Mass Market Paperback)
Transformers: The Veiled Threat was well written and evenly paced. What I liked about this story is that the Humans and Autobots were then beginning to cooperate as a team against the Decepticons. It showed how alliances can be strengthened or fall apart and why trust between any peoples is so important.The battles take place in different parts of the world and by this time new Autobots have come to Earth due to Optismist's call. That in it's self is enough of a reason to read the book as you get to meet new characters from the Autobot ranks. There are even a few new Decepticons as well. This book takes place right after the first Transformer live-action movie has ended but before the second movie came out. It ends beautifully in that if you read the book and then watch the second movie they are in sync with each other. And gives the reader that " Ah, so that's why the Autobots and NEST where in China."
