Summary: Extreme Disappointment
Review: I purchased this book after finishing the initial three Alien books by Stephen Perry. What a disappoinment. There was little action and poor dialogue. Other than the first three in the series, all of the other Alien books have been deriative dribble.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: review on alien harvest
Review: I think this book was horrible. especialy how the robot alien could talk[talking robot aliens whats next]. The action in the book was crummy. the best part in my opion is in the parts when they actualy fight.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Scared me away from ALL Aliens novels
Review: Normally, I dont write negative reviews. But in this case, I make an exception. This is, undoubtedly, the worst novel I have ever read. I'm a major Alien fan. And this story is an insult to the series.

The idea of a drug, essensially made out of aliens slime, is so far streched, that it is outright rediculus.

The cybernetic alien... when its not killing, its showing that a robot can have emotions - at least towards a dog. The synthetic in the book also developes feelings - but much slower than the robo-alien.

The main character, who is addicted to this drug, is changing the whole book - sometimes to the extend that you dont know for sure if its really him, or if you are reading about someone else.

Agreeing with another reviewer, the Aliens seems much more like ants. Unless you really disturb them, they wont do you any harm, apparently.

I must say that this book shocked me deeply. I bought three books in the Aliens series, and the other two was not much better. If this is the standard of the Aliens novels.....

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: As bad as Alien 3
Review: Oh dear! A big dissapointment for fans of Sheckleys prior works, this formulaic, predictable, yet implausable novel about a dying professor building an android Alien to go on an Alien royal jelly treasure hunt treads no new ground and gives the impression that the author wrote it because the rent was due. Fans of the other "Aliens" series may possibly enjoy it. Sheckley fans who do not want to see their idol fall from grace steer clear.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Book Review for "Alien Harvest"
Review: One of the most awesome and thrilling Alien books out there today. Alien Harvest is about a dying man desparate to find a cure for his disease, and with the help of a beautiful woman, sets out on a horrific adventure into the aliens' lair for Royal Jelly, an extraterrestrial substance that has the ability to palliate or even cure his suffering. A very thrilling book this one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great beginning, but it fizzles in the end.
Review: Robert Sheckley did a wonder job of building up the story to the point where you begin to care about the charecters. The problem is that this book had the worst ending in the long, sad history of bad endings. I was ready for this to be the best of the aliens series, but the ending took out most of the feeling out of the story. There are just too many loose ends that should have been tied. Nice try.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not the best of the series
Review: This book was a disappointment. The main characters were so unsympathetically drawn, I was quite indifferent to their fate. I was much more concerned about the fate of their pets! The aliens came across more like nipping ants than the fiercest creatures in the universe. I also felt some of the plot elements were unlikely ( the aliens wouldn't be able to smell the difference between a robot Alien and the real thing?) However, if you've read all the other Aliens books, it will satisfactorily fill the void for a while, with several pitched battles and new weapons in the war against the Aliens.
