this book finds our 6 heros on the run from the law after the attempted assasination on their graduation day. it seems to pack a lot in for such a short book. i especially like how the fbi mistakenly arrests the dupes instead of the roswell gang. there are even some touching moments from the parents, jesse and a lot of lose ends the tv show did not clear up probaly because they were rudely yanked off the air. any true roswell fan will appreciate the effort the writer has put in trying to fit in a lot of ideals in a short time. it has a lot of suspense and it will keep you coming back for more and cursing the author that did not just make one big book out of it instead of making us wait to see what happens in "turnabout"

I was pleasantly surprised with "Pursuit," the latest of the novels derived from the TV series "Roswell." Beginning with a brief explanation of the background and characters for the uninitiated, the authors serve us a well-developed plot that builds on the past exploits of the characters. It is very much an "action" novel, but not without exploring the thoughts, feelings, relationships, and ethical dilemmas of the characters. Having researched their subject extensively, the authors succeed in revealing believable answers to many of the science fictional mysteries left hanging by the TV series. Authors Mangels and Martin deserve a 5 silver handprint rating for writing a book that will make readers want to buy the soon-to-be released sequel, "Turnabout," and maybe even spark interest in the publication of more stories in film and print about the other-worldly young adults.

Pursuit includes the point of view from the dupes.
meanwhile the 6 teens are still running from the law, but it seems instead of learning from past mistakes they have become slightly careless, through their emails to their parents, the FBI tracks them. Meanwhile the Fbi captures the dupes, thinking that they captured the real podsquad. The dupes and the real roswell gang have a couple of near misses with the FBI, very tense and exciting, litterally felt like my heart was hanging from the clothesline. It is hinted at the end that the podsquad and co. are through running and hiding, they're getting ready to fight, this decision made from Liz's new vision. This book is a little more funnier than the others, but is gripped with suspense, romantically wise though it was a big disappointment.

This book is great reading material for those fans of the TV show who just want to have more. However, be warned: It ends with a cliffhanger, and the second (and last) book of the series is not available for less than USD 200,- (used) when I last checked.
Great book though.

The Sci Fi nerd in me loved this book. only to get to the end and find it was 2 parts! It took me awhile and a chuck of change but I got the 2nd. Perfect way for this to end

Excellent book - very well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Actually hated for it to end.

i read the book and wow i really love it specially the end and what about liz's vision i can't wait to read the turnout i need it. i recommend these book is excellent

Helped to continue the series after it was cancelled and as part 1 it helps to wrap all the loose ends up. It even brings back characters from seasons 1 and 2.
