What a fantastic read, a great novel which is so much more than a science fiction adventure. Highly recommended especially to X-Com fans.

Not much to drool over, but fun like the game.
4 Jan 2002

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Thing is, I couldn't imagine how someone would put the game's content into novel form. And after reading the novel, I still can't. This was a really quick read, and it had sort of a superficial bite to it. None of the characters are really worth caring about, and it doesn't go into much detail about the technologies or species of aliens. But none of that really matters much; I don't think anyone was expecting a masterpiece here.
If ya liked the game, you'll probably have fun with the book.

Xcom, a good game, now a good book

Format:Paperback
This book fits in nicely with the game. If you were interested and enjoyed the gameplay, this book will also entertain you. It takes you right along as if you were in a mission of the game. It could stand to be more descriptive, and perhaps some more character development. BUT as it stands, it is very entertaining, and I think works well with the Xcom saga.

X-Com: an exciting and enjoyable read
2 Feb 1998
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Although I have never played the game, X-Com, I found this book to be very fun and exciting to read, and particularly enjoyed the geographic descriptions of the locales. It felt as though the writers had either spent some time there, or else done their research very well.
It was not all rosy, of course; there could have been a bit more description of some of the aliens and some of the starships; some of it felt as though it relied upon the reader's prior experience with the game. But all in all, the book was exciting, action-packed, and a real page-turner, and kept me guessing right up to the end as to who the traitor really was. I definitely recommend it.
