Product Description
Life on earth has changed forever, as humans and their courageous robotic allies, the Autobots, must warily work together to protect the planet from the destructive forces of the evil Decepticons. At the headquarters of NEST, tech sergeant Epps and captain Lennox both guard and assist cyberneticist Kaminari Ishihara and the brooding Russian AI genius Petr Andronov as they explore the differences between organics and bots. All around them, alliances fray, distrust grows, suspicions mount, and traitors come out of the shadows.

Meanwhile, Optimus Prime, the powerful leader of the Autobots who is also part of NEST, plays defense, as battles flare up from Australia to Zambia. But escalating Decepticon attacks will culminate in a final confrontation from which no one—man or machine—will emerge unscathed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great, May 3, 2009
This book could have been better, but as it stands, it's a suitable lead-in for "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." There are familiar characters, such as Autobots Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Ironhide and humans Epps and Lennox as well as new characters and some others from the first movie, which are spoilerish, so I won't mention them here.
The plot isn't great--the book could have used fewer humans and more Cybertronians as well as a little more backstory for how everyone ended up where the are. Hopefully the novelization of the movie, as well as the movie itself will help with this.
All in all, it was a decent read. As I said, not great.
