Summary: WOW!! What a Different and Powerful book!!
Review: I bought this book right before the Fourth of July weekend. I just finished it and all I can say is WOW!!. This is the first book that I have read by these authors and I can;t say enough good things about it. A Different kind of First contact story with an ending that will want you to read the sequels. Good characters, enough science to keep you interested and quick plotting kept my interest up for the whole book. Why do I have to wait until Fall 99 for more? Bring them on now!!!

Summary: Save your money
Review: I don't know what exactly these other people were reading but this book is neihter original nor spectacular. I think I saw this type of plot line in the movie Independence Day. I think this was the worst book I have ever read. Also, there had better be a sequal because the way this book ends is awful. It seemed as if the authors either got tired of writing this or they had to beat a deadline. I t just seemed like the story was cut a little short.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I don't understand why people think that the story was terrible because it left you with a cliffhanger ending. For starters, the book was a great read, and second, it says right on the inside cover that two follow-up books are in the process of being written. I think this world is filling up with way too many people who don't think before they speak. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Fun story: Part of an artificial trilogy.
Review: I enjoyed the book quite a bit, the concept of a dying world acting as a parasite sucking lifeblood from the Earth is uniquely entertaining, but I have one complaint.Splitting the story into three books seems artificial. This book ends unnaturally and abruptly, as if the decision to make it part of a three book story was an afterthought, and the publisher just hunted for a chapter about 1/3rd through that seemed like an ok place to split it. Now that the other two parts are out, however, I recommend you buy all three at once, and treat them as a single book. While not deep and thought provoking, it is a fun, lightweight read as a break from more lofty subjects...

Summary: Average read at best...
Review: I enjoyed the book, but thought the pace was a little slow. Maybe that's because nothing really happened with the aliens until the latter quarter of the book. However, the plot was believable and the characters were likeable. The end of the book was a surprise since it is nothing more than a cliff-hanger that's intended to get you to buy the next book. The authors may as well have extended the book and written in a true ending. I can't see them creating a whole new book based on the events of the cliff hanger. But I suppose they will.

Summary: Still a fan of Mr. Smith
Review: I have enjoyed several novels authored and coauthored by Dean Wesley Smith. This novel has ensured my continued fan status. "The Tenth Planet" was a very enjoyable and absorbing read--difficult to put down. Too often in this genre, characters are one-dimensional or mere plot devices incapable of seeing the world beyond their labels (i.e., scientists, generals, politicians, invaders)--it is refreshing to meet characters with some character. I look forward to the sequels.

Summary: Gee, I sure hope the sequels are as good!
Review: I just finished reading The Tenth Planet and rushed to write this review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The aliens were truly alien, instead of the usual different-appearance-but-almost-human brand that's so common. They weren't even evil, but clearly they and we cannot coexist. Their depiction was extremely thoughtful and creative. As for the humans, if the plot were not so fantastic and the action so riveting, I might say the characters could have been developed a little better. The lack of depth seems to be par for the course in this type of Sci-Fi thriller, so I'm not so critical as some. Also, it didn't bother me in the least that this book had no conclusion--it's a trilogy! Anyone reading reviews now can buy all 3 books at once, and not lose a precious moment waiting for next release! I have to give this book 5 stars for the sheer entertainment...when I can't wait to get to the next page throughout the entire book, I know I've found a gem! Highly recommended!

Summary: Great book!
Review: I just finished reading this book and I have to say that it is one of the best books that I have ever read....I will be bugging the people in my local bookstore constantly as to when the sequels come out...and I will be waiting very impatiently for the video game to come out!

Summary: Swift and sure. A great read.
Review: I picked this one off my local library's shelf because of the Star Trek books I have read by these authors. I wondered at first about that, though, because the cover also states the story is "by" Rand Marlis and Christopher Weaver. But I'll put that on hold for now and hope perhaps sometime in the future I'll get that wonderment solved. Meantime, not to sound like a cliche', but this story's a real page-turner. I finished it in two days and was delighted to realize there are two more books in this series! It's filled with uncomplicated tech, peopled with humans *and* aliens whose names one can pronounce without a Universal Translator, and has just enough romance and human interest to keep it all feeling very "real." In some respects, it's very "Independence Day"-like, but not in all. We get to hear the alien's point of view, something that can be lacking in "alien invader" stories such as this. Highly recommended. May have to make this (and its sequels) a purchase!
