Lost in Space

Hopelessly lost in the trackless depths of interstellar space, the Jupiter Two, piloted by John and Maureen Robinson, is suddenly beamed aboard a starship the size of a small planet. Inside is a place beyond imagination where secret dreams can seemingly come true. Is this the Eden the Robinsons longed for when they first blasted off from a polluted, dying Earth?Or is it something more sinister? Are they honored guests--or helpless prisoners? The answer soon becomes clear as John and Maureen Robinson, their children, Penny, Will, and Judy, and their crewmates, the murderous stowaway Dr. Zachary Smith and swaggering fighter jock Don West, face their biggest challenge yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intersting and lots of fun, September 7, 1999

Fans of the old and new will like these new books from Harper. I liked both this book and the audio version read by Bill Mumy. Of particular interest to me in this book was the psychological study of Smiths addiction to a drug he calls the Kiss and his "kicking it" at the end. I wont tell you about what happens between him and Judy at the end, you'll have to find out for yourselves!

I am not a big fan of the 1998 "reimagining" of Lost In Space. However I was curious to read this book and see if it captured either the flavor of the original show or the movie. I must say that the dialog patterns and charaterizations meshed perfectly with the movie take on the Robinsons and Dr. Smith. As I read the dialog I could hear Matt Leblanc and the rest of the cast in my head delivering the lines. The author did a great job here. However, the plot of the book left me a bit cold. It is basically a first contact story. There are many misunderstanding as the Robinsons meet members of an alien culture. That's about all that happens. If you want action you will have to look for it elsewhere. If you are a strong fan of the movie, this book is worth a read. If you prefer the original series and like action as opposed to philisophical debates, you can safely skip this book.
