3.0 out of 5 stars Commander Riker tries to write, Jan 27 2004

By	Rachel Watkins "Rachel Watkins" (Joshua, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a rather mediocre book. A story of an alien invasion, the protoganist is a retired police officer turned private investigator and is hired to find the daughter of a rich man, and later an elderly man, both kidnapped by aliens, though this fact is unknown to him at first.

The Aliens are kidnapping elderly people and having doubles go into all the major cities carting a hydrogen bomb with attached EMP blaster. The protoganist, along with a group dedicated to finding and eliminating the alien threat on earth find and dismantle thier plan, and rescue some people.

While the story is interresting, the writing quality is poor and this would have been much better if it had been better written. In a final battle(which was suposed to be the story climax, but wasn't that powerful) the protaginist loads up his AK-47 and recives last-minute instructions on it's use, only to find himself shooting an M-16..(did the aliens switch it on him?)..in the middle of a shoot-out with a couple of aliens.

Well Riker, try again, not terribly bad for a first book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Drivel, Oct 14 2003

By	John Rovnan (Tarentum, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Abductors Conspiracy (Mass Market Paperback)

Cliche after cliche. Why in God's name would the US Army be using AK-47s? Oh, then two pages later they magically turn into an M-16, didn't this book have an editor? This is a good book if you are 10 years old, if you want a good alien invasion book, read Footfall by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
