FIRST IN SERIES BASED ON TV SHOW

Great book!,
Los Angeles, the present. Rookie detective Matt Sikes begins his first murder investigation and stumbles onto a deadly conspiracy that threatens his life, his daughter and his world. At the same time, onboard a nightmarish starship hurtling toward the Earth's sun, Stangya Soren'tzahh-- a courageous Tenctonese slave destined to become Detective George Francisco-- is swept into his peoples' last desperate struggle for freedom against the ruthless and mysterious Overseers. When the great ship lands on Earth, the future of the Tenctonese and all humanity depends on two unlikely heroes, Matt and George-- who must work together for the first time to prevent a disaster that could destrroy both their peoples.
Pleasant Surprise
It's been my experience that "Pro Fic" isn't exceptionally well written. However, Day of Descent proves the stereotype wrong. Set in the minutes/hours just following the show cliffhanger "Green Eyes" this book details how the Teconese actually crash landed in the Mojave. It gives a lot of detail about George and his family while exploring slavery. We get to meet rookie detective Matt Sikes and see how he's initially drawn into the plight of the Newcomers.
The continuity was spot on. The writing was crisp and entertaining. This is an absolutely fabulous additon to the Alien Nation universe.
If you are a fan of the show this book is totally worth the time it might take to find it. It explains EVERYTHING that happened in the years before the ship landed and lets you see more about why the characters are the way they are. I definately recommened this book, I couldn't put it down.
Excellent for a fan of the show!!,
