Summary: What is Alien?
Comment: I don't feel this is the strongest book in the Science Fiction Writing Series, but it is still a good resource. The book isn't a step-by-step "How to Create Aliens" guide, so you might be disappointed if you buy it for that reason. It is more a book to help you "rethink" what you consider alien and opens you up to ideas about what makes a being/society alien to us as humans.
Rating: 4
Summary: A great book for fans and would be authors.
Comment: The book is not just about aliens and alien societies. It also deals with making proper stars and planets and what alien science might be like. Could of used more details on the subject of planet building, but there are other works that get into the nuts-and-bolts of that subject. This book touches lightly on alien culture, view points and history, not just the science of building an alien creature. Also, some of it might be outdated with our increasing knowledge of other planets and solar systems. It looks more and more like our idea of planet forming and how systems form might be slightly incorrect (if not out right wrong). That is why I held back a star.

Summary: hooked on aliens worked for me!
Comment: I was haveing the hardest time trying to my Alien species believable. This book helped. It is not inteded to be mythical or fantastical, but a referance. If take as that it is a very helpful guidline to building alien lifeforms and societys.
