[Dee Sanfilippo · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was so much like the scifi of my youth, before I realized just how unimaginative and stale even scifi could be. When i was a teen, there were rapidly written, formulaic books that nearly made me stop reading the genre. Id forgotten how bad something with aliens, archeology, science, and evil military could be. I cant recommend this book. I read it all the way to the end in the hope there would be a plot twist, interesting character, or other feature that would justify the hours Id spent reading it. Nope.

Ive read that this author had written other books that were better. Might check those out.

This has all the elements of a standard alien abduction/invasion story: military conspiracies, suppressed memories, an alien-hybrid baby, scientific and archaeological discoveries, secret underground facilities... What it lacks are lively writing and compelling characters. I picked this up because I enjoyed Lindsay's Dexter series, but this has none of the humor and sympathy that characterize those novels. Recommended for UFO-junkies only.
