**** Nostalgia of the real Visitors
How I loved
the Visitors! I remember as a young girl the trepidation with which I kept
waiting every week for a new episode on TV. And what a disappointment when no
news season followed the final cliff-hanger. Years later, as an adult, I
happened to watch the whole series again and I loved it almost more than the
first time. So you can imagine my delight in spotting this booklet in a flea
market.
It is a
tie-in that tells the invasion from the mini-series but from the point of view
of the East Coast, especially New York. Some classic characters are
mentioned, even we can see Mike Donovan in a scene, but the main characters are
others. It was great to rediscover the Visitors through the eyes of
unsuspecting new characters.
The plot is
very well thought out. In the preface the author of the original series, A.C.
Crispin, explains that she had outlined the story, and then it was developed by
Howard Weinstein. There isn’t clearly the wonder of discovery, as the reader of
this book already knows the story, but the novel is equally enjoyable. Too bad
the story continues in other books that unfortunately I don’t have.
It remains
a real treat for fans of science fiction. If you happen to get it in your
hands, read it.
