Summary: Dark Angel
Review: If you are a fan of the Dark Angel TV series, this is a book that you absolutely have to read. Before the Dawn gives a lot of background information of Max's life at Manticore when she was a kid. All in all, this book was excellent and definitely worth every penny you spend on it.

Summary: Before the Dawn
Review: If you're a fan of Dark Angel fan fiction, you'll like this book a lot. Max Allan Collins did a pretty good job of keeping with the overall Dark Angel theme, and the story is pretty good. It can be a little corny, and there are a few editing errors, but if you like Dark Angel I would recommend it.

Summary: Excellent Read!!!
Review: Like most who bought these books I was distrought that season two ended so abruptly and left so many unanswered questions. This particular book doesn't answer to many of them but gives great insight into Max's past and makes it so she isn't the only one with a deep dark secret. The author makes it feel like your watching the show the way the dialogue flows. I just loved the book and highly recommend it to any dark angel fan.

Summary: Isn?t ?tact? something you put on a teacher?s chair?
Review: Miss the series? Collins serves up a generous helping of backstory to the Max Guevara we've all come to know and love. The story expands on the small details that are already known: we are pulled along through the harrowing X5 breakout from Manticore, up through Max's first contacts with the "normal" world and right on up to the catastrophic Pulse that brings the United States down to Third World status. Much of the story deals with Max honing her craft as a professional thief on the mean streets of post-Pulse Los Angeles. Circumstance and a possible lead on an X5 "sibling" send her north into Seattle, and we are treated to the tale of how she met Original Cindy, how she moved in with Kendra, how she started with Jam Pony, where she first heard of Eyes Only, and even the spiritual importance of the Space Needle to Max's "meditations." Logan Cale features prominently as well, in some wonderful foreshadowing scenes. Original characters include fellow X5 "Seth" and Russian gangster-cum-art dealer Kafelnikov, and for fans who've missed the first season's villain Donald Lydecker, there's plenty of him in this novel, too.The novel, being more or less unrestricted in its scope and direction, allows the reader to dive more fully into the gritty near-future of post-Pulse America -the language is coarser and more realistic than the cleaned-up television dialogue. Instead of having to hear characters remind viewers that "the world went and got a lot nastier," we are able to actually immerse ourselves in it; much more thought-provoking, particularly if you're prone to playing the "what would YOU do?" speculation game. In all ways an excellent lead-in to the events of the series pilot. An easy read, full of familiar characters, very satisfying conclusion.

Summary: OMG!
Review: OMG! I loved Dark Angel when it was on TV. I'm really upset at Fox, and so are thousands of DA fans when they cancelled the show last May. I especially thought Max, and Logan were the best. But thank gawd for Cedco for the DA Calendar, Artemis Records for the Soundtrack, and now Max Collins for keeping the DA fans still happy. This book is awesome and after I read the first page I knew the rest would be good. Oh, I can't wait for other books on DA and, if there were such a miracle, that DA Fans would all join together and get Fox to put the show back on!

Summary: Excellent Novelization!
Review: The book brilliantly fills in the details of Max's life, from the escape in '09 to Seattle when the series begins. I could barely put the book down. I am not so patiently waiting for the next book, that will continue the TV Series.
