The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! Well actually they aren't, but that is the concept of the book Independence Day based on the blockbuster film of the same name. The book was written by Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin the team who wrote the screenplay, as well as Stephen Rmolstad. The premise of the story is that on July 2, 1996 a strange phenomena begin to appear over major cities in the world. The phenomena begin to cause worldwide panic and wonder about our unknown visitors. And now the fun begins. This book has great detail and paints stunning visuals to the reader. The authors descriptions get you to believe how real this could be. When the phenonema begin appearing there is a weird disturbance in the satellite systems. Soon thereafter it is discovered that the signal is really a countdown, and when the countdown ends, you guessed it, the aliens attack. This book is fun from beginning to end. A thrill and pure enjoyment to read, I would recommend this book to any fan of the Sci-fi genre. A sort of "War Of The Worlds" for the 90's, "Independence Day" will deliver the goods in an explosive way. By Matt Crandall

If you saw the movie, the book is just as good. Reading it breaks down the whole plot and theme to the movie. I like it because I was able to focus on all problems that occured. It also makes you wonder if we really are alone in the universe. I recommend Independence Day to anyone who likes action, adventure and surprise.

This is a very good book. It helps you understand the movie better because it explains some of the things that were unclear in the movie. If you liked the film, you'll like the book.
