Product Description

Product Description

Dr. Gregory, a renowned nuclear weapons researcher, is not only dead--he's been charred to a radioactive cinder.

Since this is a death on Federal property, Mulder and Scully are hastily called in. As FBI agents who specialize in unexplained phenomena, they are the investigators of The X-Files, strange and inexplicable cases which are also mysteries that the FBI doesn't want solved.

When a second victim, completely unrelated to nuclear science or Dr. Gregory is obliterated in the New Mexico desert, and then a third dies the same way in Washington, DC, Mulder and Scully begin to focus on the frightening dimension of their task. The bizarre deaths cannot be a coincidence. And as they work to uncover the secret unifying element that unites these deaths, it becomes clear that this twisted puzzle has fatal consequences for the entire world.

Synopsis

A novel based on THE X-FILES television series, in which FBI agents Mulder and Scully investigate paranormal mysteries and strange unsolved cases which the U.S. government do not want the public to find out about.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is the second X-Files title that i've read, the first being "Antibodies". In "Ground Zero" the author demonstrates clear understanding/opinion into Mulder and Scully's relationship and their interdependance on one another. This is presented is a fairly stylised yet believable manner, with both characters existing as seeminlg intellignet entities, not merely as narrative devices, as in "Antibodies". So, if you're a fan of the relationship between Mulder and Scully, this title shouldn't dissapoint. The plot and characters themselves are not quite as compelling as those in "Antibodies", but the overall effect is one of a good, solid and genuinely ambitious storyline. This novel certainly does not have the gritty realism it could have, but makes for a nice few days' reading nonetheless. Recommended.

This was the first X-Files novel I had read and at first I was doubtful that the books could even interest me as much as the series could. My option changed very quickly. After reading the first two chapters I was hooked! The story was gripping from start to end and the story as a whole was anything but predictable. Every X-Files fan should read this book!

Great x-files story 29 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
Fantastic plot, scientific but with the expected mythical twist; great writing: Kevin Anderson is my favourite when it comes to X-Files narratives; loved the ethical dilema created in the story between scientific progress vs humanitarianism.
A real page turner: good old fashion investigation mixed with some serious contemporary issues of warfare at all costs.

Lightweight entertainment
Novelisations of television shows are essentially paper fodder -an attempt to cash in on a lucrative televisual franchise that will undoubtedly raise cash. Read more
