Summary: Talk about a fun novel!
Review: This is a book for people who enjoy action but also want a good story to go with it. Amazing follow up to the Predator movie. It gives you everything you want, aliens, cops, action, and a Jamacian Anti-tank gun! How muck more fun do you want. Although I was a little lost in the end about why the Predators came to NY in the first place. But otherwise it is a must buy for the average action seeker.

Summary: Well.... it's a Predator tie in book....
Review: This was a pretty fun book I guess. However it wasn't what I expected it to be though, The book basicly just replaces Dutch with a personalityless brother who just happens to be an NYPD homicide detective. If it were not made so abundantly clear that this is Dutch's brother you would think he is a horrible attempt at ripping him off, this aside the book was a nice read. I didn't like how Dutch had just dissapeared, and they made him out to be a sissy compared to his brother. The detective aspects of this book were really well done, too bad that the writer had to waste his efforts on a poorly written character such as Scheafer. It may sound like I'm being harsh but the character WAS poorly written, one minute he's supposed to be a borderline psycho who never talks to everyone the next minute he's making wise cracks like ... Spider-Man. And his partner, his parnter Rasche, was a very well written and likeable character who for the life of me I can't figure out why he didn't shoot Scheafer himself and give him to the predators, through almost the entire book Scheafer treats Rasche like a doormat and I couldn't figure out why Rasche kept helping him out. This book also feature kind of a cop out ending, that I won't give away, but the ending is about three pages long and it's not one half as good as it could have been.All in all this was still a fun book to read, I give it three stars for the characters, action, and the nicely written predator sequences.

Summary: entertaining, in the tradition of the films
Review: While this is hardly one of the best books I've read, you have to keep in mind that it is after all a Predator novel. Being a fan of the films, though, I was excited to hear that the Predators would finally have an entire adventure dedicated to them on the printed page (the Aliens vs. Predator novels came out before this one did). The second movie was my favorite of the two, and so this book, being set in the city, reminded me very much of the second film. I like the whole idea of a savage predatory race hunting prey in a very modern and utilitarian environment (it has, however, always been curious to me why a race of aliens who seem to prefer putting on a primitive air and hunting in primitive environments like jungles choose to base so much of their weaponry on highly advanced technology). The scenes with the murder victims hanging from ceilings like cattle were, as always, disturbing. And the finale to this one was astounding, very epic and on a grand scale in the action department. Rather than a sole surviving warrior who seems to be the only one aware of the aliens' presence (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny Glover), the aliens' presence is exposed to practically the entire city! I thought it rather cheesy that the protagonist of this novel was the brother of Arnold's character in the first film. However, this gave the protagonist some knowledge of the aliens, and a reason to have a passionate hatred for them, having almost killed his brother. Besides, this device sets us up for a wonderful scene in which we are returned to the place of the aliens' previous visit to out planet (from the first movie). Fans of the film will find this particularly entertaining. Fans of Predator will love this book. Definitely the best Predator novel out there.
