Summary: Wonderfully Entertaining
Comment: Of the three X-Files series books I've read(GOBLINS, GROUND ZERO and RUINS), RUINS is most definitely the best. It is unlike the others for the simple fact that it is actually relevant to the show. For once, the reader can actually picture Mulder and Scully in the adventure, relating to each other in believable fashion. Anderson most definitely redeems himself with RUINS. It's well written, well researched and beautifully vivid. Kevin Anderson paints a rich tapestry of lush jungle, exotic natives and white-knuckle action. The few instances in the book that aren't congruent are quickly forgotten by the fast-paced storyline and overall flow. This book could easily be made into a made-for-TV movie or even on a larger scale. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would love to see more of the same caliber from Anderson!

Summary: Who REALLY wrote the movie?
Comment: WARNING: THE FOLLOWING REVIEW MAY SPOIL THE STORY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET READ IT!
"Ruins" is not only perhaps the best novel of fiction based on the hit series "The X- Files", it also bears a striking resemblance to the storyline of the movie, "Fight The Future".
Think about it. In the book, a woman is abducted and in the end, Mulder finds her encased in a case surrounded by thick green liquid. He revives her and they escape. And as Mulder runs out of the place where the woman was trapped, he notices that it's a UFO which takes off and leaves. Scully, naturally, doesn't see this.
The ending of this book is almost exactly the same as the ending of the movie. I talked with the author, Kevin J. Anderson, about the similarities between "Ruins" and "Fight The Future". And he even kinda agreed with me on it. Perhaps Mr. Anderson should have received a co-screenwriting credit for the film.

Summary: getting back on track....
Comment: I have been a fan of The X-files for years and after Mulder left the show, it wasn't the same to watch. I picked up this book and was determined to read through it to get myself back into the characters again and why I fell in love with the show in the first place. I couldn't put the book down. Since reading this book, I have found myself watching the series on a committed basis. If you love the thrill and storyline of Mulder and Scully in The X-Files, then you will definitely enjoy reading this book!
