Book description: New York: Harper Prism. Very Good+ in Good+ dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. The back of the dust jacket has a pattern of lines poked, as though someone was playing with a pen on the back side. Some rubbing and a few small nicks in the dust jacket. No price indicated on jacket. ; Book Club Edition; 1.00 x 10.00 x 6.50; 256 pages; Written in perfectly deadpan, Mulderish style, Chris Carter's X-Files: Fight the Future movie novelization (adapted by noted SF author Elizabeth Hand) is a faithful reproduction of the film, with the addition of a couple of cutting-room-floor sequences to make it worth an X-phile's while. X-Files neophytes will probably be confused by the appearance of unexplained characters and in-jokes, but the story is like a really good episode of the show, and if you can be hooked, you will be. A few purely visual things don't translate well in the novelization. For instance, dialogue between the Cigarette-Smoking Man and the Well-Manicured Man, both referred to by their complete "titles" throughout, becomes an exercise in ridiculousness. But that could hardly have been helped, and otherwise the book accurately adapts the action and fast pace of the movie. A nice color-photo spread completes the package. Beneath the tranquil surface of a North Texas town, the future of the human race awaits...After forty years, members of the Global conspiracy known only as The Project are finally nearing the completion of their plans. Only FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have a glimpse of the nightmare that lies ahead for the rest of the world: an alien invasion fueled by the most devastating virus in human history. And only they know that the Truth isn't out there anymore--It's already here. .
