Alien Hunter (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Whitley Strieber has had a long, successful and controversial career, and now the 68-year-old has embarked on a new series about policeman Flynn Carroll, who loses his young wife to an unexplained abduction and finds himself involved in strange and dangerous situations. The title of the book, “Alien Hunter” (Tor, $25.99, 316 pages), is a pretty solid clue as to where the story is going, as of course is Strieber’s back story, which includes several non-fiction books about his interactions with “visitors” that may or may not be aliens.In any event, “Alien Hunter” is a professionally written action novel with Carroll cast as pretty much the perfect action hero: intelligent, experienced in dealing with bad guys, good with guns, strong, indefatigable and pretty much impervious to pain. There’s a love interest, violence and a plot that stretches incredulity right up to the breaking point but stops just short of complete implausibility.“Alien Hunter” is book one, and sets the stage nicely for future Flynn Carroll adventures, which will most likely echo this effort – which is to say page-turning action with an alien twist. Without giving spoilers, I didn't feel this was Whitley's greatest story. Was it bad? definitely not. It does have a few "holy smokes, that just happened moments" but overall, not too entertaining. I felt that the "hunt" for the animal went on far too long. the relationships between the characters were very (to coin a phrase) extraordinary and sometimes odd. This story would have made a pretty sweet x files episode. I will definitely read the next in the series. Still an avid Strieber follower.
