I love fantasy and science fiction, always have, always will. When I read the product information on this book, I thought, what the heck, how bad can it be. Well, did I ever find out! And I've seen and read some really bad ones over the years. To be fair, I didn't finish the book. I didn't get past the first page. You know those bad Saturday movies on the Scifi channel every week - well this one would fit right in. It's so bad, I don't think MST3000 could have fixed it - but it would have been right up their alley. This kind of book gives the whole field a bad name. My only hope is the aliens won and we won't have any more of them.

Bad grammer, bad characters, stupid storyline. Don't waste your time reading it-there are so many great sci fi books out there.

This review is from: The Night They Came: A Science-fiction Thriller.... (Paperback)

This is by far the worst sci-fi book I ever read. Not only was the plot lame, but it appears no one bothered to edit it for grammar, sentence structure, or punctuation. I have never seen so many semi-colons and hyphens used improperly in my life. The aliens weren't even original, and it read like a bad 50's B-Sci-Fi movie, and that is even giving it too much credit. I bought the book based on an ad in Sci-Fi Magazine (who should be ashamed of itself for hawking this book on an unsuspecting public) and on the reviews I read on Barnes and Noble's website. Reviews which I would normally suspect were written by the author himself, except for the fact that the reviews read better than the actual story.
