Nighteyes

review from 1989At first glance Nighteyes appears to be a cross over novel part mainstream best seller, part Steven King horror, part spy thriller, but mostly a sinister version of Close Encounters Well it s all of that, but at heart it remains a better than average sf novel.Garfield begins with the intriguing premise that if a UFO s were really in the habit of abducting human subjects from secluded locations, and if b spys spend a lot of their time conducting covert actions in said secluded loc [...]

Fascinating read Was a little confused at the beginning, though so were the characters The story built at a steady pace, gaining characters at a rate that wasn t overwhelming It felt realistic until the last few chapters, but still plausible enough to wrap up the story, with enough happening after the finale to answer those lingering questions I m always left with after a good story Would recommend.

Garfield Reeves Stevens is a writer that not enough people know of He and his wife Judith have teamed up in the past many times on novels and TV shows like Star Trek Enterprise and the SyFy original movie Fire Serpent Alone, Garfield has also written many novels, including plenty set in the Star Trek Expended Universe Many of his works are genre benders with a sci fi touch.When I came across Nighteyes in a used bookstore, it wasn t only the cover that led me to buying it The inside flap compared [...]

Recurring people play scapegoats for secret agencies They became a clog in the wheel of the secret service during this new age set story These common individuals flee amok catching up somehow in controversy leading to powerful governmental consequences The technology in this near future view compared to ours would look like our own perceiving it by a general point of view This story is interesting Its political viewpoint becomes a part of the story adding interest in the normal collective opinio [...]

If you examine the reviews on for this book you will see a startling amount of derision and scorn No idea why Mystifying because its a genuinely well written, energetic treatment of a premise that has seen a lot of over use in contemporary science fiction Just because the idea at the base of this story is so plastic that every SF based tv series relies on it at least once a season is no reason to slight this novel Further, the author had to deal with the challenge of treading in territory alread [...]

Let me just begin by saying that this book was much longer than it needed to be In my opinion, there were many filler scenes adding no value to the story that the author could have omitted.Let me also warn you that I personally am not a fan of stories involving UFOs and aliens Admittedly, I picked up this book out of desperation to have something to read and lack of other options I didn t particularly care for the concept it s unoriginal and done many times before Honestly, this alien story is b [...]

One specific detail about the story is that, unlike most books written a couple decades back or longer tending to date themselves with everyday objects that our society has outgrown, such as a VCR tape collection or makes of cars, etc things only a collector would have now, this doesn t I liked that The country s alphabet agencies are involved in messing each other over til it irritates the reader with the paranoia but it s all story line so we have to deal with it The rest of the story gets int [...]

Lady s daughter is stolen by aliens.nd then they come back to get her, or something sinister.

An OK SF about alien abductions I don t know if the author changed midway between trying to be scary and trying to be hopeful Again, it was OK.
