Because the show has only so many episodes\, I gave this book one more star than it really deserves. it is a lot of fun for me to re-viisit the wildcards on mission to kill chigs.The only real complaint is I dont get to see Kristen Cloake or hear that sexy voice.

Just started reading this and it is as good as the series.
I am enjoying it. I wish there had been more TV series, but a good imagination can make great video in the head!!

Fans of the Show Will Enjoy But Other Readers Could Be Lost

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018

“Space: Above and Beyond” was easily one of the best sci fi shows of the 1990s. While it is not well known now, the show was episodic with a compelling storyline and strong characters. Fox is pretty quick on the trigger when it comes to canceling great shows--right “Firefly” fans?--but “Space: Above and Beyond” was hurt by lousy timing. Frankly, a military sci fi show about sacrifice, war and loss would have done far better in the US in the 21st century as opposed to the relatively peaceful and prosperous mid 90s.

“Demolition Winter" is the second novel from Peter Telep based on the show but, while the first one was a novelization of the two hour show opener, this is an original story. Telep is a fine enough writer and he knows the main characters well enough even if one of the best of them--Col McQueen--is sidelined here. As B. Smith noted in his critical review of the book, the Chigs are not well fleshed out here but that goes in line with the series and how the Wild Cards see them. There are some interesting new characters here who serve as a fine addition to the SAAB universe. While some of the themes in the book follow the show, there are enough curveballs here to keep readers engaged.

The plot isn’t bad and it is nice to spend more time with the SAAB characters. Having said that, unless you are a fan of the show, there probably isn’t enough here to garner your interest and not enough background provided to make it worth your while. Despite that caveat, I’d offer the book 3.75 stars if possible which rounds up my rating.

Not a good addition to this genre

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2013

Basically a book that focuses on the corruption of the government, business (Aerotech) and yes, even the Marine Core. The good guys are the 58th squadron and that's it. Some may remember the TV series and claim that the book's premise is in line with that aspect of the series i.e., the war with the Chigs was unjust but the 58th prevailed due to skill and fortitude. The plot in this story is not so much about the 58th`s efforts to complete their mission but more on uncovering the thin veneer that hides the corruption. The repition of this theme is tiring. In regards to exploring sci-fi technology of this genre, the book offers none. The book focuses heavily on concepts of bigotry. Shane's character was not in line with the series as she is portrayed as hyper angry, stupid acting, and the biggest bigot of them all. The author seems to be setting us up for her catharsis, but it does not occur. Finally, there is very little interaction of McQueen and Ross with the 58th, so don't expect to see them in any action at all. In this story, the Chigs are portrayed as inept, stupid but vicious. Unfortunately, the book offers no insight into their backgrounds, origins or motivations.

The book's theme is basically beware the military industrial complex. Not much else here. Skip this one.

An Excellent SAAB Sniper-Mission Novel!

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 1999

this was a wonderful SAAB novel! since only 26-odd hours were ever produced, reading this adventure was very special. the 58th is stuck on an alien planet on a sabotage mission, and things just keep getting worse! this was an excellent novel that like J.R.R. Tolkein takes the time to describe the land the characters are moving through, so the reader is really put involved in the action. plus, a friendly Silicate is with the 58 which makes for great character interaction. this novel takes place just before the final episode and actually feels like an 'arc' episode of the show only with a much larger budget. if you've EVER seen SAAB, read this novel and enjoy!
