Book Description

Publication Date: Sep 1995 | Series: Aliens
This time the humans are taking the offensive! Stan Myakovsky is a once-famous scientist fallen on hard times. Now he dodges spaceship repo men and dreams of the marketability of his cybernetic ant. Then a woman named Julie Lish walks into his life. She is beautiful, mysterious, and totally amoral. She is also skilled in the arts of thievery and Oriental self-defense. What's more, she has a plan so outrageous there might be one chance in a million to pull it off.

Together Stan and Julie become the most unlikely pair of pirates in the universe. With a hijacked spaceship and a crew of hardcase misfits, they're searching for the ultimate pot of gold at the end of a bloody intergalactic rainbow: royal jelly from an alien hive. The only problem is that the fortune lies on the universe's most godforsaken planet. And once they get their hands on it, the'll have to fight their way past the aliens to get off the planet alive.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was good , But it need a little help with the story line. 21 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I felt that the book over all was ok, but I did not feel that the story line was realistic. I also felt that there were certain flaws in some of the supposed factual information.

3.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunatly all good things come to an end. 23 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Aliens: Alien Harvest is full of shallow character portrail, heartless people and they even kill a dog how bad is that? This book could have been so much better unfortunatly unlike the previous Aliens books it just doesn't match up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book Review for "Alien Harvest" 23 Jan 1998
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
One of the most awesome and thrilling Alien books out there today. Alien Harvest is about a dying man desparate to find a cure for his disease, and with the help of a beautiful woman, sets out on a horrific adventure into the aliens' lair for Royal Jelly, an extraterrestrial substance that has the ability to palliate or even cure his suffering. A very thrilling book this one.
