:), June 6, 2001
This review is from: Invasion America 2: On the Run: The Lost Years (Paperback)
OMG, I can't believe it's been this long since IA aired! It's been a little less than a year since I bought the books and grrr! Hey, Christie, if you ever come back here to read reviews, it would be much appreciated if you had the assignment to write more! Any fan of the show *has* to have this book. I was no less than estatic when it arrived and I after I started reading it, well...Let's just say I wouldn't have even noticed if the house caught on fire. ;) Ooohhh, I wish there was more, be it the rest of the novelization, or sort of a continued prequel. You know, like the time gap between them leaving the Rez and heading for Glenport or basically anything that hasn't already been covered.

Tony Hillerman meets Robin Cook in SPACE!, February 16, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Invasion America 2: On the Run: The Lost Years (Paperback)
Very, Very, good book! This book gives soo much more history and information about the characters than the series does. I loved learning about what happened to Cale, Rafe, and Rita and how David was born. Very chilling and realistic virus introduced, and a flattering portrayal of the Navajo people as well. A word to the previous review which stated that the dates were incorrect. The dates looked just fine to me - the show started with Rita in 1981, David was born in February of 1982 and was 16 by 1998 when the bulk of the show took place. I was so caught up in the great story that I did not notice any typos. Great book, buy it, read it, keep it...

DAVID LIVES!, February 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Invasion America 2: On the Run: The Lost Years (Paperback)
I just finished this book, but I can only give it ***½ out of 4. One reason was that there were spelling mistakes scattered throughout the book - I laughed out loud when "the Dagit fell silent, brooding." Another was that the book was noticeably more violent than the show - the series was rated PG, but the interrogation scene and Susie's death (is that her name? I can't remember) bring it up to about 14-V. And the dates in June 1981 were completely hosed. In fact, the date of the first chapter doesn't make that much sense either. It should be 06/08/1998, not 04/12/1981. Remember the space shuttle from the series? That was obviously not 1998 technology, and I don't know why everyone else insists it was. Go to the Invasion America Newsletter and the Invasion America Snail-Mail Petition websites to find out how you can help save IA. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to include URLs in a review, so you'll have to just email me. PS: Be sure to celebrate David's birthday next January 13!
