Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable Tie-In
Review: As far as TV tie-ins go, this has to be one of the best I've read. Based on the pilot of the now abandoned sci-fi show, 'Earth 2', Crandall has managed to give the characters a bit more depth than what was portrayed in that first episode.

The author also develops more of a background to people like Devon, Alonzo and Danziger. Not only that, but she shows a deeper insight to the conflict between True and Uly, managing to make True seem less like an annoying kid and more of an intergral character.

I would definitely recommend this novel to followers of the show and even to people who haven't actually seen the series. It certainly the best of the three E2 books available.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The premise for the series
Review: I like Earth 2 the show and also the books. As far as I can tell there are three books in total. The first is this one by Melissa Crandall. As far as I can tell it's pretty much the TV show and not a separate adventure. I am guessing that the TV show was based on this book as it unfolds the same as the show. The second book is by Sean Dalton and called Puzzle. In my opinion this is the best of the three. The third book is by John Vornholt and is perhaps the poorest in the series. That one is entitled Leather Wings. I haven't read anything else by Crandall, so I don't know if the style is typical of her. All I know is that it wasn't the easiest read - that honour belongs to Dalton. It is a little disjoint in places and the characters are not quite as the actors portrayed them and so it's almost like reading about different people apart from the character names. That said, it is still a pretty good book.
