5.0 out of 5 stars Following the lead of the past books...just as good!, July 4, 2000

By	Catherine Jarvinen (Winter Springs, Florida) - See all my reviews

This latest edition to the Roswell family is just as good as those who came before it. The story continues to build as Isabel finds herself beginning to suffer the akino that almost took Max away from her. See what Michael does when faced with his decision to help Isabel through this tough time without making her connect to the conciousness, the only thing that could save her life. Learn the real reason Trevor came to Earth, what Liz is getting herself into with Adam after her break up with Max, what is becoming of Max because of his connection to the conciousness, how Alex is behaving since his trip through the wormhole turns him into a babe magnet, and the biggest shock comes at the end! But don't expect me to completely give it away! The Roswell adventure gets better and better with this latest book. I can't wait for #10!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything's falling into place now!, June 25, 2000

By	Rebecca Herman (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Well, Roswell High has only one book after this, and everything is finally falling into place. DuPris is revealed as the leader of the alien rebellion against the collective consciouness, which, not surprisingly, turns out to be evil. But of course, since he's such a creep, he's doing the right thing for the wrong reasons and through the wrong methods! Liz is lonely since she had to break up with Max after he became immersed in the consciousness, and she tries a relationship with Adam, but she loves Max to much for it to work. And Isabel may have to join the consciousness or die - but she'd rather do the latter than lose herself. And we also learn just why Trevor came to Earth. An excellant addition to the series, possibly one of the best. It's definitley back on track after Book #8, The Rebel, which was a little dissapointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Series Ever! So sad., June 27, 2000

By A Customer

Well, its the 2nd to last book in the series, and this one was still as exciting and as full as surprises as the last ones. Max is getting pulled deeper and deeper into the consciousness, and is out of it most of the time. Personally I think the whole conscious thing stinks. Isabel starts to get her akino, but, she really doesn't want to, because she can see what it has done to Max. I think Isabel was really brave in this book. Alex the ladykiller in this book was hilarious, even if he was ignoring his friends. But, of course he prevailed in the end. The ending is soo sad and soo surprising. I'm not going to tell you anymore because it will ruin about the whole book, just read it and find out. --Rachel
