Loose Ends Roswell 1 Greg Cox Books Reviews

Having been a huge fan of the TV series, (Taped every episode, bought the Dido theme song) and the original 10 books by Melinda Metz, (got them all in one shopping trip) I jumped at this one as soon as I saw it. And what a story, a trip the gang take to get away from all their troubles, leads them to the man that inadvertently caused it all in the first place by shooting Liz. Greg Cox is definitely a huge fan of the show, and it does shine through in his writing, showing mentions of several key events from series; one and two, not to mention the little (and not so little) alien tricks that were used during the story. (The 're-painting' the cars bit was very cool I thought.) There were a few disappointments with the book though, ie, Valenti, Kyle, and Tess weren't present, and were only mentioned in passing. (Not that I missed Tess all that much anyway.) And then there was the confusion, on my part at least, as to where this story could have happened. As the lack of said 'blonde and unliked alien' suggests that this occurred after she zipped off home, yet Alex is still very much alive and kicking. Still, this confusion didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying this book, far from it actually, as Alex provides several interesting points with his usual perspective to everything throughout the book.
Vote now folks, did Tess take a solo sabbatical during the second season, or has Greg Cox had a premontion of Isabel's love for Alex restoring him to life?
I have seen every episode of Roswell, Its the best show on TV. The book starts off in the middle of the 2nd season. The story was good but the characters said and did stuff they never would do on the show. I can tell Greg Coz has only seen a few episodes. He put to much emphasize on the Tabasco sauce, They(max,michael,isabel) don't drink(<-- they eat it with stuff) it to calm them selves down. Also he said that Liz got shot when she was seventeen, but she got shot at 16. I guess that could be typo. Another thing Michael always takes claim for Maria ideas. I always found that funny on the show. But in the book when he's trying to help Max to overcome his problem; he tells Max that it was Maria's idea. That's the 1st time I seen that. Also Maria says Czechoslovakian to many time and in front of max,isabel,and Michael, She usually just does that with Liz. Overall the book was interesting. The story was real good. Max and Liz are a couple. Which is cooL. A must read for all Roswell Fans. I can't wait for the next one because it will be written by other people.
The plot is terrific. The characterizations are so-so and inconsistent. The villain is awful - not "he's a great bad guy," I mean written really terribly. It's the last that really sinks this otherwise good story.
Maria suggests her friend Liz and the perpetually serious alien cadre they hang out with get away from it all with a little trip to Carlsbad Caverns. Liz finds more than bats in the caves the man who shot her two years before in the Crashdown Cafe is in the gift shop. Does he recognize her? If not, how long before he does? What should she do about it? Run? Call the cops? After all, officially, no one knows she was even injured - alien boyfriend Max healed her up, before anyone realized she'd been shot. The let-it-lie option evaporates quickly, when Max and his alien sister Isabel find out Liz's shooter is involved in some kind of scam with Air Force personnel - and, given their past fracases with the government, they have to find out what it's all about.
This book starts out great, and goes downhill fast. Its first flaw is the inconsistent and generally out-of-character portrayals of the principals. Non-series fans may not notice, anymore than they will the odd preoccupation Cox gives the characters with Tabasco sauce (an incidental running gag on the show, that Cox turns into something more), but of course series fans will be the primary purchasers of the novel.
Liz's shooter, the big bad guy of the piece, has the worst dialogue this side of a 1930's gangster movie, and that's no exaggeration. He doesn't actually say "coppers," but he might as well. He's also unbelievably careless and uncoordinated, for a man arranging sales of top secrets. He's just not very credible, in any department. His actions - and often those of the other characters as well - are bizarrely abrupt and inexplicable, even for a psychopath.
What the book does have going for it is the good story, a nice sense of humor, and likeable (if inconsistently accurate) central characters. If you can take the book's flaws, you might enjoy it, but it's not very indicative of the series as a whole and will probably disappoint most fans.
