Summary

Serial killers come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is particularly puzzling. There's no pattern to the mutilated bodies that have been showing up in Albuquerque: The victims have been both sexes and all races, ages, and ethnic groups. There is no evidence of rape or ritual. Only one thing connects the victims: They were the victims of a natural disaster - one of the most unnatural natural disasters imaginable - leading to a most painful, most certain, and most hideous death.

Mulder and Scully, FBI: the agency maverick and the female agent assigned to keep him in line. Their job is to investigate the eerie unsolved mysteries the Bureau wants handled quietly but quickly, before the public finds out what's really out there...and panics - the cases filed under "X".

Excellent story

A great 7 hours of entertainment. Has all of the relationships exactly as they are on TV. Very good narrator.

It's just like an episode of the X-Files

A decent addition to the lore and world of the X-Files, not the best episode but definitely well crafted to keep the spirit of the characters.

The X-FILES

I did enjoy this story but it was not as good as the first book.

Good story, terrible narration.

I thought the story was reminiscent of the original X Files, and I listened because I loved the series so much, but the narrator is not good. He almost shouts, and is intrusive throughout. I would not have been happy if I had had to pay for this.

What a way to ruin a story.....

What could Charles Grant have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

He could have given it some true X-File feeling. There was nothing

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Yes, thoroughly. He had no feeling for the story, I could not get interested in the book and his voice really put me off, it was such a drag. You should be able to get a visual image from what the narrator is telling you... I got nothing ! I struggled on but wish I hadn't... It will be returned

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Total disappointment, I shall be cancelling the others from my wish list purely because of the narrator

Any additional comments?

I have been waiting for more X files books and what a let down these were. I have the original abridged versions on cassette, which I have transfered over. I shall continue to listen to them. Next time get a decent narrator......

Why so horrible?

Unfortunately I am one of these people who grew up with X-Files and loved them, so again, unfortunately, I try to find books and such to feel that magic once more. This reading is definitely not what I was looking for. Very disappointed, I mean is there a part 2 I am not aware of or is it just a waste of time? Disappointed
