Product Description

Review
"Mezrich drives the story steadily forward... [and] satisfies all expectations of suspense, ghoulishness, and general creepiness any fan might have." Booklist"

Product Description
1 of 6 original "X-Files" novels re-issued to tie-in with the brand new "X-Files" movie, "X-Files: Ruins" by international bestselling author Kevin J Anderson is a thrilling never-seen-on-TV "X-Files" story, now with a sleek new cover and bonus behind the scenes material on the TV series and film.Medical students accidentally take skin from the wrong donor resulting in a bloodbath in a NYC hospital ward, and an elderly professor becomes the city's most wanted man...FBI agents Mulder and Scully suspect something more ominous than a medical procedure gone awry. Together they uncover an unholy alliance between a plastic surgeon, international politicians, and a legendary Thai monster known as the "Skin-Eater".

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly gripping from start to finish, 4 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The X-Files: Skin (Mass Market Paperback)
At risk of giving away the entire plot, this is a step above the very high norm of THE X-FILES books, with lots of horrific murders and mythical creatures and some great Mulder-and-Scully one-upmanship.

But I believe that a little back story is in order.

The X-FILES novels have a good background and the adult novels (Such as this) are not based upon the episodes, just completely original stories written up by great writers.

Now I have seen dozens of the telivised episodes and I think that some of them would warrant a good novelisation, as opposed to the rubbish 'KIDS' novels which can be read in mere minutes and are less that good at capturing the unique atmosphere of the X-FILES. So imagine my surprise as I started this book and within minutes was absolutely hooked to what is a gripping page-turner up there with many Jack Higgins novels.

But a warning for all you faint-hearted out there- Don't read it at night with a torch. It'll scare you senseless...

Vive los X-Files!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting and Mesmerising, 3 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The X-Files: Skin (Mass Market Paperback)
The books have been good.

The films have been good.

Why should this be any different?

I love this book! It outweighed any previously written novels and surpassed all my expectations with a page-turning story by a great author which had me utterly mesmerised from start to finish.

Lecendary creatures, brutal murders and Mulder and Scully. How could it fail?

Complete with numerous wise cracks from Mulder, plenty of speech interspersed with bursts of great action, and some brilliant plot-twists, it is utterly superb.

How can you resist?

Even if you've read the other books, don't be put off by the fact that it seems similiar fare. It's tense, exciting and greater than a lot of televised rubbish (MIRACLE MAN!!!) and if you refuse it, people will die.

Fantastic, gripping and superlative-defying.

For Mystical creatures of all ages.

I've read many of the X-files novels (those with original storylines, not based on TV episodes) and although not the best, this one does not dissappoint. Read more
