Antibodies (The X-Files)

Rating:
Summary: This can only be described as "The Best of Anderson"
Review: I read this book when it first came out and enjoyed it so much, I recommended the entire X-File series to several of my friends. I went so far as to loan all 3 books to one who read them in a week. He also could not believe how true to the show the characters were. Anderson stays so true to Carter's vision of Scully and Mulder, you begin to wonder if maybe it was a joint work. I wold heartliy reccommend this one to anyone even if they dont' watch the series. First rate book

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book!!
Review: This book appeals to all of the great aspects of the X-Files genre. It's set mainly in a rustic cabin and a burnt-out laboratory; settings just made for the X-Files. It incompases a gov't conspiracy, science, humor, and of course, action. Excellent book!!

Rating:
Summary: As the 1st reviewer, let me say this was one of the best.
Review: This was an excellent book that should have been (should be?) made into an episode. Anderson has a wonderful way of discribing things that makes me wonder if he himself is an X-Phile. Scully fans should take read this one because of the cancer research . . . but then again, I don't want to give away the book.

Summary: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson
Review: If you like the series, then definitely try this one. I read this in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. It really seemed to bring out the same emotions Mr. Carter milks from the series. Plenty of action, mystery, and the Mulder and Scully Chemistry could not get any better. The players in this novel are on one mission, to survive at all costs! This is the first book I was willing to try that was based on the series. I've already placed my order on another book by Anderson.

Rating:
Summary: The Best
Review: This book is the best x-files book I have read besides Ruins. Kevin J. Anderson did great job with it.

Rating:
Summary: Alternative storyline for x-files.
Review: I liked this story because producing this story would take a lot of money. Kevin Anderson's storytelling puts you right there next to Mulder and Scully and you simply must keep reading to find out what happens next.

Summary: "The X-Files: Antibodies" Needs a Shot of Imagination
Review: "The X-Files: Antibodies" is the latest televisiontie-in novel from Kevin J. Anderson, a well-known author of many suchmovie and t.v. tie-in books. Whereas this is, admittedly, the best of Anderson's three X-Files novels, that really isn't saying much. His previous two X-Files novels, "Ruins" and "Ground Zero" were pretty dismal attempts at bringing FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully to the printed page. Both of those novels suffered from preposterous plots and muddled characterizations, particularly those of the two main characters. The plot of "Antibodies" isn't much better (a government conspiracy is set forth to destroy all evidence of a scientist's miracle cure for cancer, including his own son), but it does manage to hold together more coherently than Anderson's previous efforts. Scully and Mulder, alas, don't fare nearly as well. They're barely involved in the plot at all. Anderson chooses to focus his attention too much of his attention on the scientist's family and his treacherous lab assistant who (sorry, can't resist) literally gets a taste of his own medicine. Scully and Mulder pop up a few times to find a body, decided that, yes, it is indeed dead, then vanish until the next corpse hits the ground. The most fatal mistake Anderson makes is the fact the exact same story could easily have been told without Mulder and Scully appearing at all. Scully is particularly poorly characterized. Fans of the t.v. show will know Scully suffers from an inoperable brain tumour, yet she barely gives a consideration that she might have the cure she has been seeking within her grasp. The author weakly describes Scully as having a "personal connection" to the scientist's son, who suffers from leukemia, as if dying from the same disease is equals belonging to some sort of club. Another irksome point is Anderson's constant reuse of the same metaphors. The villainous lab assistant whose body becomes riddled with the "nanno-critters" (the scientist's miracle cure) is described dozens of times as having skin that like melting wax. Does Anderson really think we can't remember this simple description every time we encounter the same character? I know this isn't supposed to be great literature, but is it too much to ask for a little well thought out writing? For X-Philes who are looking for a much more satisfying (although also flawed) reading experience, I recommend they seek out the first two X-Files books, "Goblins" and "Whirlwind", by Charles Grant. Both of these books contain well-written characters, twisting plots and some genuine scares--something every good X-Files story should have. END

Summary: Awesome Summer Read
Review: Wow! I really like science fiction shows and if you like them too then I would greatly recommend this book. Antibodies is a sci-fi book filled with action, adventure, and excitement. This book is one of the best books I have ever read.

Once you start reading you can't stop. Yes, it is that good. Mulder and Scully are on the case again. Recently the Dymar lab for cancer research has burned down to the ground by animal rights group that seems to not have existed. When the rubble was cleared, all but one of the researchers' bodies was found. What were they really researching in Dymar? Is the government trying to cover it up? Read this awesome book!
