Alien Apocalypse is an exclusive alien game, which you will adore and get stuck to, once you twitch playing. The game is extremely likable and pleasing in nature.

Alien Love is one of those books that you can really believe in. Just the kind of book for me. Stan has researched his subject matter well and that comes across eloquently in his writing.

Jack is an exceptional lead character, who is well-developed and researched, it is very easy to get to know him well and understand his thoughts and feelings. Especially those concerning his anger.

The story is well-paced, believable and will have you glued throughout. I was able to believe that we have aliens on our planet and that the American government are keeping secrets. Well it is true isn’t it?

Any sci-fi fan will love this book. Enjoy

NB I received this book free for an hones review.
