Yes, I have a lot of books, and if this is your first visit to my amazon author page, it can be a little overwhelming. If you are new to my work, let me recommend a few titles as good places to start. I love my Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series, humorous horror/mysteries, which begin with DEATH WARMED OVER. My steampunk...

I really enjoyed reading The X-Files: Antibodies. It hits all the right notes for a gripping thriller: a captivating plot, truly likeable characters—especially the young boy battling a terminal illness—and those classic, menacing bad guys out to destroy the heroes. If you're looking for a must-read sci-fi mystery by Kevin J. Anderson, this book is a fantastic choice.

Another solid entry in the X-Files book series. The X-Files: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson dives into the terrifying world of nanotechnology and a deadly, spreading plague, with Mulder and Scully caught right in the crosshairs of the chaos. As you’d expect, there is a sinister government conspiracy lurking in the shadows, waiting to be uncovered.This is a fantastic read for long-time fans of the show, myself included. If you are looking for a gripping sci-fi thriller or a must-read book review...

This is a brilliantly paced thriller that perfectly captures the dynamic between Agents Scully and Mulder. In The X-Files: Antibodies, author Kevin J. Anderson pulls us into a gripping investigation involving a mysterious, unexplained fire and a terrifying, unrecognizable virus. It’s a must-read for fans of the series looking for their next suspenseful book review recommendation.

The X-Files: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson is a decent enough read for fans of the franchise, but it’s largely predictable and, ultimately, unremarkable. The origin and true motivations of the sinister forces opposing Mulder and Scully aren't explored or explained nearly enough to feel satisfying. I know this is The X-Files, so I’m used to having some questions go unanswered, but the lack of depth here felt like a gaping hole in the narrative. If you're looking for a new sci-fi book review to ...

When you go into a book with zero expectations, it’s pretty hard to be disappointed. That’s exactly how I felt about The X-Files: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson; it was an okay read, perfectly decent, but certainly nothing to write home about. To be honest, I only picked it up because I felt guilty for loitering in a used book and video store for an hour without buying anything, so here we are.The story is set sometime after the "Cancer Arc"—which, admittedly, I haven't watched yet—and centers ...

Honestly, The X-Files: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson is just average and okay. The story didn't really grab me, and you could have easily swapped Mulder and Scully for any two generic cops without losing anything essential to the plot. On top of that, a good 50 to 60% of the novel focuses on auxiliary characters rather than the leads. Overall, this sci-fi book review concludes that it completely failed to transport me back to the iconic world of The X-Files.

I honestly can't remember why I loved these books so much when they first came out. After that brief six-episode revival on Fox, I was desperate for more Mulder and Scully, but The X-Files: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson just didn't scratch that itch. There was very little of the iconic duo's chemistry, and what little we did get felt thin and uninspired. It’s a shame I went on a shopping spree and bought every e-book I could find while the show was airing, hoping to keep the X-Files momentum g...

Another one of those books that I own, though I’m not entirely sure why. I’m a huge fan of The X-Files—I used to binge-watch it constantly when Netflix added all the episodes. I have to admit, The X-Files: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson reads exactly like an episode of the show.That said, this book is absolutely packed with convenient coincidences. The villains track the heroes down by conveniently interfering with their cellphone frequencies, and they just happen to intercept the most crucial ...

My car completely gave out yesterday—just POOF—and it turned out the transmission was totally shot. But! My boyfriend found me a copy of The X-Files: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson at the thrift store the same day. So, I guess God doesn't hate me completely, just mostly. I really needed some mindless escapism, and this book delivered perfectly. In the first chapter, there were two fantastic descriptions of flashlight beams cutting through the darkness. It got me so excited that I actually plann...

Reading The X-Files: Antibodies by Kevin J. Anderson feels exactly like you are watching an episode of the show. If you are looking for a gripping sci-fi book review that captures the classic eerie atmosphere of Mulder and Scully's investigations, this is a must-read.
