Indian Hill 1: Encounters (A Michael Talbot Adventure)

By Mark Tufo

A Michael Talbot Adventure

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and for Michael Talbot that step is taken at Indian Hill with his best friend Paul Ginson by his side. Together they grow up, meet girls, and go off to college.

And that's where everything changes.

While out on a date Mike, along with thousands of others, are quite literally abducted by aliens. Known as the Progerians, their mission is to determine how best to conquer the human race. To that end they force the men to fight one another in death matches. The women are given to the victors as spoils.

Believing his friend to be dead, and furious with the government's refusal to even acknowledge what happened to him, Paul decides to take matters into his own hands. The aliens may have killed his best friend but they aren't going take his planet. Not if he has anything to say about it.

A great read. gives you an idea what an invading alien force has in store for us mere mortals!!!

[skybalon · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This was a very difficult book to rate. On one hand there is a part of this book that feels like a version of "Stand by Me"--a fact that the author even acknowledges--the actions that happen, the language and thoughts of the characters feels real, stupid stuff and all. And then sometimes right after it reads like a teenager wrote it, cliched situations, cliched dialog, cliched aliens, and cliched wish-fulfillment fantasies.

So in spite of the fact that it is almost 2 distinct books in one, I'm going to continue the series. Hopefully the good will outweigh the bad going forward.
