Summary: The best book I've read this year.
Review: If you like the X files, you'll love this book. The characters are all entertaining, flowing through your minds eye like a good movie. The possibilities for future volumes are limitless and I can't wait to see what happens next. I'v never read any of Mr. Williamson's stories before, but I'm definately going to look him up. If his other works are as good as this one, I'v got another fine author to look forward to. This was a three day read for me, and I'm a slow reader. Hard to put down.

Summary: X-Files in the best X-style
Review: Ok, so this book is too much simillar to the X-Files series. But even if the basic idea is not 100% original, the book is excellent in it intention: a conspiracy/super-natural/FBI(CIA) thriller that gasps the reader attention in every one of his 340 pages. That's why I selected 5 stars, because the book is *Very* entertaining. Chet wanted to make it like X-files, and he did it spectacularly.Worth the read, and I'm looking foward to read the sequel, Trail of Dust.

Summary: Better than X-Files and twice as Exciting
Review: There I stood in the check out line at the supermarket, waiting to pay and leave. I pick up this book sitting in the rack. I read the teaser on the back cover and decide to pick it up. I pay and go home. After putting everything away I sit down and start reading. At first I got the feeling this book was an X-File rip-off, but it is not. It is far more entertaining, and has a exceptionally original plot line to it. As you read the book, you are witness to three (yes 3) mysterious events. As the teams solves each one, you get the feeling that these people could solve anything. I am picking up the next book,(City of Iron) even as I write this review. If it is a good as the first then Mr Williamson has a truely classic work that may become a true cult classic.

Summary: A must read for anyone who likes the X-Files.
Review: This book was a wonderful find. I can't wait for the next installment of the series. I couldn't put the book down. I bought it to read on the plane for a trip to Las Vegas, but I spent almnost the entire vacation with my eyes glued to the book, instead of the sights around me, and in Vegas, that says alot.

Summary: A bottom-of-the-barrel "X-files" ripoff
Review: This piece of trash has fifth-rate copies of most of the characters in "The X-files" - an ersatz Cancer Man; Scully; and an unbelievably bad combination of Mulder and the Lone Gunmen, among others. Throw in the basic plot of the third Indiana Jones movie and a few old "Twilight Zone" episodes and you have a book that'll make you scream "ENOUGH!" after a few chapters. Why anyone would read, let alone write, such claptrap is beyond me. I do notice that this book and its sequels are on special order (4 - 6 weeks for delivery) which means that the publisher doesn't think too highly of it either; they have to dig it out of the basement whenever it's ordered. With any luck this will be out of print soon and it'll only be an extremely bad memory.

Summary: Sorry Chet....
Review: While some of the material printed here mentions similarities to The X-Files (and sorry, Chet, there are some interesting parallels), what weakens this novel is some shoddy character development and an overbaked plot that tries to throw in everything but the kitchen sink. There are some good ideas here, but they get lost in the muddle. If you really want to read n interesting horror/suspemse novel. try Neil gaiman's Neverwhere.
