The Official Movie Novelization

By: Alex Irvine

Narrated by: William Hope

Hybrid fighters merging human and alien technology. Massive cannon emplacements on the moon and Mars. A planetary defense force with the finest military personnel ever trained. For two decades we've known the enemy would return. The nations of Earth have collaborated on a unified defense program designed to defend the planet. Yet nothing could prepare us for the immensity of their new assault, and only the courage and skill of a few brave men and women can hope to bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Excellent audiobook.

Any additional comments?

I'm not sure why this audiobook has gotten mediocre reviews. I think it's excellent and I plan on relistening a couple times to catch everything once again. It's very well-done with an excellent pace and narrator (nails the voicing, tone, and overall speech mannerisms of several characters). I especially loved the amount of detail and backstory and the sheer volume of attention given to things that can't be conveyed on screen. It's safe to say this novel is jam-packed with far more information that serves the story than the film will. Think: film - spectacle, book - immersion. This performance and the novel in general are both worthy of 4 at least.

Just OK

Narrator is too singsong and narration as whole is boring. Story is predictable. Hope movie is better.

hope movie is better

I hope that the movie is better. struggled to finish. don't know if it was the writing style or what but something was just off. kept losing interest.

Good swashbuckling sci-fi!

Loved it. I can't see how there will be a sequel to this movie though.

I love the book as well as the movie.

I don't understand why this movie was not liked. It is just a fun movie for pure entertainment. I loved the first movie and the second. As for this book, it was very entertaining. Made me laugh and kept me entertained throughout. Let me be clear, we are not talking about a great piece of fiction here, just a very entertaining, fun listen.
