A man's body is discovered in the New Jersey sewer system, and a "routine" murder investigation ensues. But when several workers are attacked by a vicious sewer-dwelling monster, it becomes clear that something much more sinister is going on underground. Mulder and Scully soon find themselves on the slimy trail of a creature as disgusting as it is dangerous.

The Host,
By A Customer
This review is from: X Files YA #08 Host (Mass Market Paperback)
In the sewers of Newark, New Jersey people have gotten killed or servily injured. Somethings living in the sewer that's not human or is it just human error that killed and injured these men? FBI Agent Mulder belives that this is no human error, that somethings down there in the sewer pipes bellow his feet. And when his partner, Scully finds something in the body of a dead sewer worker he just maybe be, right.

Not quite as good as the original,

This review is from: X Files YA #08 Host (Mass Market Paperback)
The X-Files has been closed and Mulder has been sent on routinely boring assignments, whereas Scully is sent to Quantico. Just as Mulder is thinking about leaving, he comes across a dead body thrown in the sewer. Scully joins his investigation to perform an autopsy on the dead man and finds a living fluke worm inside the man's body. Within few days, there is another victim, only this time Mulder has had a chance to interview him. Then a strange fluke man the size of a human is found. While Scully investigates the scientific possibilities of such enormous fluke worms, Mulder tries to catch the fluke worm from reproducing. Finally, Mulder is able to cut the fluke worm in half with the lever of the pipe that ultimately leads to the ocean. With a help from the "FBI friend" Scully is able to realize that the fluke worm has been created by Chernobyl, a plant that exploded giving off various radiation and affecting the planet's ecosystem. The fluke worm has mutated from being human.As good as Les Martin writes, there is no possible way that he can describe the amazing makeup that was put on the actor that played fluke worm. There is no possible way to describe the agony on the face of Mulder when he is without Scully. And there is no possible way to describe how Scully is at a loss of words and is about to cry when Mulder tells her he is about to leave the F.B.I. Nevertheless, the book included every little detail of the show.

I`m a huge fan of the the show and pretty much love every book that is related to it. I really liked the episode and this novelization is one of the best. By the way Flukman is my favorite monster on the show.
