This review is from: Invasion America: A Novel (Paperback)

Since the network dropped the show, I was relying on this book to tell me more about the story. This is probably one of the better conversions I have seen in a while. Hopefully, there will be a continuation of David's story in the upoming year? Please please please i hope...

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun read for readers of all ages, January 13, 1998

This review is from: Invasion America (Paperback)

In 1981, Aliens from the planet Tyrus led by King Cale come to Earth, peacefully seeking to meet the residents. However, some of the aliens, led by Cale's uncle, The Dragit, feel their leader is wrong about the belligerent and primitive Earthlings. The Dragit leads a revolt that allegedly leaves the Cale dead. In fact he and his Commander Rafe are rescued by an earthling, Rita.

Sixteen years later, David Carter feels that he is just another confused teenager. However, David is soon going to learn that he is a hybrid, part Tyrusian and part Earthling. The Dragit is returning with an invading force, planning to conquer the Earth. It is up two beings, David and Rafe to save the world.

INVASION OF AMERICA is the debut novel of what appears to be a fun, space opera serialization of the animated TV series. The story line is interesting and fast-paced. However, the characters lack motivation and dimension (sort of like the cartoon that it imitates). Still, fans of space operas will enjoy this amiable reading diversion. I know I did and I can't wait for the next installment in the series. There's a lot to be said for a work that is meant to be a pleasurable reading experience-all good!

This review is from: Invasion America: A Novel (Paperback)

Hi, I bought this book soon after it came out and was so happy. The story is great! It's sci-fi for almost everyone. The animated miniseries was great too. This story came out shortly after another one of my favorite shows ended, Gargoyles; and was happy and surprised to hear Tom Adcox playing a bad guy in the animated mini series of 'Invasion America' I always hoped they would put this mini series on DVD. Please if people out there liked book one and even book two' The Lost Years' say something, this show has to be put on DVD and be recognized as classic 90's animated story telling just like Gargoyles.
