Summary: Better then the Comic Book
Review: Obviously the book goes into way more detail and description than the graphic novel. Nathan Archer even goes as far as adding some scenes that give Schaefer's partner Rasche a bit more character and few more things to do. The plot is what Predator 2 was originally supposed to be. Arnie's character was supposed to be helping the NYPD with a drugs war in an unbelievably hot summer. But when Arnie couldn't schedual in between Total Recall and Terminator 2 the role was re-written for Danny Glover. So the story here is pretty much as much a decent continuation of the first movie as the film sequel is. But with one big difference... The role of Dutch Schaefer is changed to Detective Schaefer, Dutch's brother. He's just as big, bad and burly. And guess what...he goes by his own rules. If there was ever a REAL inspiration for 'McBain' from The Simpsons...it's probably Detective Schaefer. While reading the book I couldn't help but think of a Rainer Wolfcastle-type hero. I've never read many action-based novels and I never knew how they'd work. But Predator: Concrete Jungle does manage to be exciting and is a real page turner. It's a pretty thick book but I managed to finish it in about 3 days. I know this isn't particulary fast but I'm not the kind of guy who can spend all day reading. Not unless what I am reading is interesting or has a reason keep me reading to the end. And this book is definitely all that. The follow-up, Predator-Cold War, is even better. But I do recommend that if you like the Predator movies and comic books that you check out the novels. There are quite few of them and they are well worth it.

Summary: Predator:concrete Jungle
Review: Over the years I have been interested in reading the "Alien/Predator" novels. Just recently over Winter Break I picked up a new book called "Predator, Concrete Jungle" this book is nothing less then amazing, I never really goy bored when i am reading this book. The Storyis about a New your police offer named Shaefer who has just recently just started encountering very strange murders in the big Apple, After Shaefer's encounters with a creature(predator) he has grown attached to finding out what is going on.
This book was almost like watching a movie to me I was so into it I didn't even pay attention to the time around me. I really enjoyed how detailed the author was in this book, iy kinda made me seem like I was there.
The charactors in the story where really planned out to fit just perfectly in the story. One of the things that I didn't like about the story was how sometimes a few not all of the charactors would act very sensless wich I don't think an average personwould do.
New york City was the perfect setting for this story in my opinion. New York was perfect because of the whole attitude the people have and all the taxis that got destroyed and the battle scenes that took place in grand central station and in the subway tunnels.
Overall I really recommend this book, but in order to enjoy these type of boks you have to be into the whole science fiction vibe. This book contains a lot of "gore" and if you have a week stomache don't read it. In the other hand if you like suspense and action Please read this book!

Summary: PREDATOR : CONCRETE JUNGLE
Review: Schaefer is a hardcase New York detective who's seen it all. But he's never seen the streets of the Big Apple awash in as much blood as tonight, with Wall Street wizards and mafia dons alike murdered like cattle. Can even the toughest cop stand up to the ultimate hunter?

Summary: Welcome to the jungle...
Review: Shaefer was a New York cop, a tough S.O.B. who went by his own rules. New York was his city and when he runs into trouble he refuses to back down.
But what happens when the trouble is a six foot tall alien who wants your head on a stick?
This novel is based on a very cool Dark Horse Comic book, Predator Volume One, and frankly the book is better in some ways. You get more details, more insight onto the characters and their thoughts. And it's a fast read too.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This book a lot better than i had expected it to be. THIS is how the 2nd movie shouldve been, following Dutch's brother. New york is the perfect city to have written this story or even a movie. A must read.

Summary: An action-packed story that true Pred fans will love!
Review: This book is a novelazation of the original Dark Horse comic. It is far more descriptive and offers more background. Can be considered the prequel to Predator 2. It stars Detective Schaefer, Dutch's brother, a New York city homicide detective, who suddenly finds himself clashing head to head with a vicious alien hunter. He recalls a story that his brother told him of a failed rescue mission in Central America where he lost his entire team. He described a heavily armed creature that he battled, which the government covered up. Could this be that same one? There are many, many questions that are raised in this book, primarily the whereabouts of Detective Schaefer's brother Dutch, who disappeared shortly after battling the first Predator(see the first movie). The story offers insight as to the habits of the Predators and possible solutions as to why they come here to Earth. There are a few gripes with the book. There is fairly poor grammar usage throughout and there are far too many questions asked, which detract from the story and will sidetrack the reader. Detective Schaefer is also never named. He is referred to throughout the entire book as 'Schaef' or 'Schaefer'. Not a very big deal, but may annoy some readers. It is also difficult to picture a blonde haired, blue-eyed Dutch(Arnold Schwarenegger)!!! Other than that, there is not much else to say anything bad about that book. The habits and behavior of the Predator are illustrated perfectly. PRedator fans WILL enjoy this book!
