X Files #08 Voltage (X Files Middle Grade) [Paperback]

Easton Royce (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 10 and up | Series: X Files Middle Grade

Who says lightning never strikes twice? When agents Mulder and Scully are sent to investigate the freak electrical storms killing off residents in a small Oklahoma town, they uncover a jolting pattern. All of the victims also happen to be the enemies of a local video game whiz, Darin Oswald. Darin's expertise at the video arcade is uncanny. But that's nothing compared to his other extraordinary ability: he can repair and control electrical devices - even turn appliances on and off - just by looking at them. Is Darin also capable of creating his own high-voltage revenge? Scully and Mulder have to find out fast - before this human dynamo blows a fuse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, intense book based on even better TV series., February 25, 2001

This review is from: X Files #08 Voltage (X Files Middle Grade) (Paperback)

This book is written extremely well throughout. It is the kind of short book that you feel you want to and should just read all through, from front to back. I almost did (if it wasn't for starting it late at night!) It is almost exactly as the episode on TV portrayed it, which is also a good point. Well worth a read even if you're not an x-phile, if you are, then it's a must-read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danger: High-Voltage book!, April 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: X Files #08 Voltage (X Files Middle Grade) (Paperback)

How is lightning so accurate to kill residents in a small Oklahoma town every time it strikes? Lightning can't do that...can it? Ask Darrin Oswald, a big video game wiz, but a big geek who has a crush on Sharon Kiveat, married to Frank Kiveat. His crush won't go too far...will it? Does he have any paranormal powers? Naw...that's Mulder talk, a boy can't make lightning. Right?
