The Starsea Invaders: First Action is the first book in a three part series. Mr. Stine's story takes place in the future on a U.S. military submarine and his writing is technical, but this does not matter because from the very first page he pulls you into the story. You will not want to put the book down until you have finished it. This book is one of the best Sci-fi I have ever read. The plot is unique and the charcters are develped. This is a must read book. (To the Author: please write a fourth book to this series. Thank You.)

I do like the concept. A carrier submarine taking on a race of undersea aliens who apparently are responsible for the disappearance of several American citizens in a small Pacific country. One thing I did like about the story is we really didn't know much about the aliens. We always saw them through the eyes of the Shenandoah crew, who had to make some calculated guess on how these creatures operate. Not as much action as I expected, but the story was handled pretty well. I did have a problem with Stine's overuse of exclamation points. 55% of normal conversations ended with these marks, making it appear the characters were constantly shouting at each other.
