Passing Fancy (Alien Nation, Book 6)

Rating:
Summary: Well done if a bit out of place
Review: I wish that David Spencer had paid more attention to the tv series before writing this novel. Some things just don't fit. However, the idea of Newcomers wanting so much to fit in that they risk their health to change their look is very powerful and unique. The writing was well done though frankly I think too much time was spent on the lives of the Francisco family and not on the case.

Summary: A MUST FOR ALL ALIEN NATION FANS
Review: Passing Fancy would have been an amazing episode for the TV series Alien Nation. Sadly, the series ended before the story treatment could be made. We are fortunate that David Spencer was allowed to turn his wonderful story into this rich book that reads like an enhanced episode. It is obvious that Spencer cared for and understood the characters he wrote about. Every bit of the well written dialogue reads as spoken by George and Sykes..AS PLAYED by Eric Pierpoint and Gary Graham. It is refreshing and enjoyable. The story itself is a tightly woven look at adaptation and prejudice, human AND alien. I can't recommend it enough.
