Product Description
Product Description
For the tens of millions of fans of the fastest-moving box office success of all time, Independence Day, comes the new novel that answers the burning questions left unresolved by the film.
Last year’s blockbuster movie ID4 instantly hit #1 at the box office, and with good reason. With the most exciting special effects ever devised, illustrating the most gripping tale in film history, Independence Day captured the imaginations of audiences around the world. Now, here is the authorized novel of the cover-up, where it all began.
It begins after the alien invaders are drowned and teams are sent out to find survivors. They find instead personal belongings of Dr Brackish Okun, head scientist of Area 51. Okun’s story is amazing, yet completely believable. In the 1970s, this CalTech genius arrives at Area 51 to work with the National Security Agency (NSA) and the CIA on the study of a downed spaceship, retrieved from Roswell, New Mexico. But there is much more to the job than Okun realized. He begins to suspect a massive government cover-up that has successfully buried all evidence of alien visitation throughout the years – a cover-up in which Okun is now an unwilling participant. Okun’s perseverance leads him to the truth behind the studies of Area 51, the government’s fears of an alien invasion and a mysterious encounter in the Mexican desert known as La Manta de Silencia: The Silent Zone.
From the Back Cover
FIRST CONTACT – AND COVER-UP!
The #1 blockbuster movie 'Independence Day' was only part of the story. After the alien invaders are downed and teams are sent out to find survivors, only some personal belongings of Dr. Brackish Okun, head scientist of Area 51, are found.
Okun's story is amazing, yet completely believable. It begins in the 1970s when this CalTech genius arrives at Area 51 to work with the National Security Agency (NSA) and the CIA on the study of a downed spaceship retrieved from Roswell, New Mexico.
But there is much more to the job than Okun realized. Soon, he begins to suspect that a massive government cover-up has successfully buried all evidence of alien visitation throughout the years – a cover-up in which Okun is now an unwilling participant. His perseverance leads him to the truth behind the studies at Area 51, the government's fear of an alien invasion, and a mysterious encounter in the Mexican desert at a place known as 'La Manta de Silencia': The Silent Zone.

This review is from: Independence Day: Novelisation (Paperback)
This is a very fast read. I loved the movie and like the book. It covers some areas that are not in the movie (would have just slowed the movie down). This book is well written for a moive spin-off. It would be a great intro book for someones entry into SciFi. A great book for the beach.

For sheer entertainment value . . .,
By Mr N Forbes-warren "author of RESURGENCE and ... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Independence Day (Mass Market Paperback)
. . . and a great mind candy beach read for those lazy days on vacation, strap yourself in and prepare for impact! With scenes not in the movie(or will they be in the special edition DVD out soon?) the novelisation of the excellent alien invasion disaster epic is surprisingly well done for this type of spin-off. Stephen Molstad transposes the film characters into print very well in a cinematic style yet painting a more human picture of a cardboard character in places! This novel is also a good introduction for young adults to the world of'adult'fiction, in my view. Great if you want a good, easy-reading book with a bit of dramatic impact, also check out SILENT ZONE, an interesting prequel.
