An interesting read...

Compared to the other Alien novels, this one wasn't the greatest. Half the book was unnecessary character development that really didn't make you feel any closer to the characters. Towards half way through book, we finally come across some action. The fights were pretty well written, but if you're looking for some blood and gore, my friends, you won't find it here. I was, to my surprise, hooked after they landed on the Aliens' planet. Non stop Alien encounters from then on. Which is what we all like to see, eh? Well, I thought that this book might turn out to be pretty good, until the last chapter -- such a major disappointment, I wanted to throw the crap I was reading in my hands outside of the window and hope my dog would find it unused. Be prepared to be shocked, ladies and gentlemen, for this might have been the most unexpected ending a book as ever had. I felt abandoned -- if that's the right word for it. But other than that, I guess I would recommend adding this title to your collection, just make sure you're prepped for the finale.
Alien HARVEST Rocks!

I cant beleive why people are bagging this novel!? AH was my first Aliens novel and started me on a literary voyage that saw me reading the entire set of Alien Novels & Comics. I think I enjoyed this book the most 'cos the storyline was aventurous and a fresh alternative to the other novels in the series; It's Devoid of military c*** and macho heroics, more beleivable than the others on a character level, IMHO. Instead you have a motly-crew of criminals and fast-buck hopefuls on a quest to get rich from an alien-souced drug. The participants are not mucle-bound fantasy figures: A terminally ill technician, A female thief, An aging revoked Captain and a crew of volunteering prisoners. I think that HARVEST would make the best "Post-Ripley" movie script.
Not as bad as others think!!!!

Despite my lack of reading experience, I thought this book to be fairly well written. There were most definately improvements that could have been made, though. All in all, I would say that this book is a little above average and has everything that an alien fan would want (Despite plot).
Book Review for "Alien Harvest"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
One of the most awesome and thrilling Alien books out there today. Alien Harvest is about a dying man desparate to find a cure for his disease, and with the help of a beautiful woman, sets out on a horrific adventure into the aliens' lair for Royal Jelly, an extraterrestrial substance that has the ability to palliate or even cure his suffering. A very thrilling book this one.
