Rating: Summary: READ THIS BOOK Review: A must-read for a Predator fan, it takes place after Predator 2, and the most amazing thing is in it...its COLD!
Rating: Summary: Nice book, but I've read better Review: Cold War was a decent book, but it lacked alot of action. Most of the book is just people talking, with the exception of a few chapters. I haven't read the first book, Concrete Jungle, but I'm planning on it. I can't say that I have read the other predator books, but I have read all of the pred v.s. alien novels. I suggest if u like to read pred books and u enjoyed the alien movies, pick up alien v.s. predator PREY (Book 1). The first book is excellent, but the next 2 were about the same as this. Over all I enjoyed this book but I wish it had more action....
Rating: Summary: Not as good as the first book, but Predator fans will enjoy! Review: Concrete Jungle was the first novel in the Predator series, and probably the best. Cold War tries to maintain that same feeling from the first book, but ultimately is not as successful. The setting of the frigid Siberian Winter definitely delivers, and Predator fans may find it odd that the hunt is going on in such a cold area of the world, but that is explained by what seems to be a malfunction in the Predator ship that caused it to crash. Now, the angry Predators have invaded a Russian Oil Pumping Station to find the materials needed for their ship, slaughtering ANYONE who gets in their way...Call in Detective Schaefer. Having first-hand knowledge of how to deal with the creatures after the New York incident the previous summer (the events in Concrete Jungle), General Philips abducts Schaefer during a drug-bust gone bad and brings him to a remote military outpost, where he is briefed on the situation. When Philips promises to give information on his brother, Schaef reluctantly agrees to go along. Soon the team of Detective Schaefer and Lt. Ligacheva, who lost most of her men in the initial Predator attack, must try to find a way to prevent the U.S. and Russia from launching all out war on each other to determine who gets 'custody' of the Predator ship, while at the same time fighting for their lives. This book is very descriptive, and sets great environmental moods. However, it fails to deliver the same feeling that the first book did. There are also lots of questions that the book raises that are never answered which detracts from the story over all. Other than that, it is a great read and Predator fans are sure to enjoy it. The continuing story of Detective Schaefer and his quest to find out what happened to his brother is interesting and I hope to see more books in the future. The Predator novels are all adapted from Dark Horse Comics mini-series, so we may actually see this continuing story in the future after all.

Rating: Summary: Gripping,Exhiliariating,Bloody, but that's predator for ya' Review: I could not put the book down now matter how hard I tryed . It also had a very gripping story with a hint of goverment coverup that makes just about any story good
Rating: Summary: it was alright Review: I must say I was a little dissapionted. After reading so many good reviews i thought the book would be great. But, it was shy of action and weak charatcters except for Shacfer and the russian women.
Rating: Summary: An awsome book for the Predator fan! Review: I really liked this book!!! I think it was better than Concrete Jungle! IT didn't have as much profanity in it either. And i am not a fan of all the profanity(ruins a book)! but it is a must have action book!
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Ravaging! Pure Predator! Review: I was very pleased with the second book of the Predator series. I look forward to more books(and hopefully another movie!). I would also appreciate any information on how I can publish my own Aliens vs. Predator book.
Rating: Summary: EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Make it a movie
