Customer Reviews of Illegal Aliens
A brilliant satire of humanity's first contact with aliens. This is by far one of my favorite books. Briefly, it concerns mankind's reaction to the landing of an alien spaceship in Central park.
This book is somewhat distinctive in that it takes into account both humanity's resourcefulness and its perversity. With humor typical of the authors, in a linguistic mishap the aliens accidently abduct a street gang instead of the construction crew they had had their sights on. The resulting hijinks end with the Earth being put on Galactic interdiction, complete with a police blockade.
Naturally, humanity isn't going to take this insult lying down! I mean, they're only aliens, after all. The second part of the novel deals with the good guys' attempt to contact the ruling council of the Galaxy in a half completed spaceship built with stolen and barely understood technology. In the process, they must defeat an interstellar blackmarketeer and criminal organization, in addition to the Great Golden Ones (the star cops).
This book will have you in stitches within the first chapter-- guaranteed. Don't pick it up unless you have a healthy chunk of free time on your hands, or extrodinary willpower. You won't be able to put it down.
Get a copy...you will be glad you did.
One of the first books I ever read. Completely captivated me and got me and my brother both hooked on reading since then. I am always recommending it, but will never ever loan my only precious copy to anyone for fear of never getting it back. This is one funny book with a great original story and great original characters.
This book is too funny for just words!!
I remember when I first read this book, I was wearing a gas mask during an excercise in Germany, I laughed so hard I nearly passed out from lack of Oxygen. I dragged it around the world, everywhere I went I would read it to get my mind off the world. It was worth it, the day I lost my copy I tore a cargo plane apart looking for it. And nearly cried when we didn't find it, years later it was sent in the mail by a soldier in Grafenwier. I have another copy now, but I still keep it locked up. It is the funniest book I've ever read. I can truly picture everything described as happening, especially with those UN Space Marines, the writers had to have done time in the military. The poker games, the "beer can" effect, gain a stripe lose a stripe in one day, everything. So true to life.It's a wonderful book!!
