Product Description
Product Description
Advanced humans, calling themselves Terrans, leave a highly corrupt and mostly primitive Earth to search out a new planet to inhabit. Once on a new planet, they begin exploring the rest of the galaxy and begin watching over their more primitive human cousins back on Earth. Some Terrans are well known in human history, people such as King Arthur, Galileo, Genghis Khan, and Amelia Earhart. The Terrans come across an alien species, called the Ragnor, that experiment on other species for no reason other than that they can. The Ragnor discover Earth by accident and start their abductions and experiments on the first set of humans they come across, the colonists on Roanoke Island. The Ragnor continue to cause mayhem and mischief on Earth, eventually getting shot down over Roswell, New Mexico. Once the humans on Earth figure out they're being manipulated by both sides, President Truman has the United States embark on a plan to pay back both the Terrans and the Ragnor with the technology created by Area 51. Once the plan is initiated, will Earth succeed in its payback or fail gloriously?

It would encourage a new generation of writers.
14 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
Because the general sentiment is going to be, "I can write better stuff than this &*$$@@". I will recommend that the author to do better research in future works as some had already mentioned on prior reviews. For my part, his portrayal of the US Military was cartoonish and insulting. There is not "Commanders" in the US Air Force as a rank. No serious attempts to contact the Terrans and discover their motivation? The "President" not getting impeached and sent to prison for ordering a genocidal attack? Russia and China attack the US and are still around to invade it? With what? Oh, please.
I developed more sympathy for the putative bad guys, the Ragnors who come across as hostile as Malvin the Martian of Bugs Bunny fame. Everyone else fell quite short.

Not the whole book, a psuedo documentry not a novel
15 Nov 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Okay, first this is a portion of a documentary style book. There is a little stilted dialogue but mostly it reads like a high school history text book. At the end of the story you find out that to read the rest of the book you have to pay an additional 2.99 ebook or 12.99 paperback. This is basically a very boring teaser to get you to pay for the book twice.

The problem with ebooks
14 Nov 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
"VirtualPress," the publisher of the paperback edition of "Don't Mess with Earth," is what we often refer to as "vanity press." Simply put, it means the author probably could not find a real publisher and had to pay for publishing it himself. For this book, it's a good bet such is the case. The writing is amateurish, awkward, and full of grammatical errors and it seems unlikely a real publisher would bother. If these things don't bother you and you like space operas, even inane ones, you may like it. Otherwise, spend your money on something else.
