Q-Ko-Chan 1: The Earth Invader Girl

Del Rey, 2006

Donald Duck This Isn't
"Q-ko-chan" is another example of how different manga is from American cartooning. It's about a girl robot, who - for reasons unknown - comes to Earth, together with an astonishingly vivid, if oddball, collection of other aliens. If you try to read it for the plot - like reading a Donald Duck comic - you'll be horribly disappointed and annoyed. "Q-ko-chan" does have a narrative structure, but it ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

More classic Invaders Please
Gotta' say, this second edition is just as much fun and just as much a blast from my past as the first. I've actually read several of the stories in this volume many times as the whole 'Battle of Berlin' is just an example of a great comic story line to me but it is great to finally have it in the more permanent paperback format. Thanks, Marvel. I understand the entire Invaders series will be ...

"Refreshing"
Unique concepts and possibilities for the more mature intellectual. Some spiritual grounding in The Light can add a second witness to its truth.

DAW, 1996

Foreigner
I consider Cherryh to be the premier science fiction writer I have read and enjoyed, since starting as a sub-teenager, back in the 1950s. The entire Foreigner series, to date, as there appear to be some more on the way, is absolutely outstanding. When I read the last book in the sequence, I went an ordered the entier set to date. And have enjoyed each and every one as well as the first and ...

Creepy crawly icky yucky germs
I was at the American Library Conference in New Orleans scoping out various publisher booths when I found myself at the Kingfisher location in possession of a nice hot pink non-fiction tome with the vibrant words, "Deadly Invaders" popping out of the cover. I knew that the New York Times had started publishing books for children, much as National Geographic has, but this was the first of its ...

Paul Dowswell

E.D.C. Publishing, 1998

Educational and very funny
An educational and very funny read. The facts are all true, but have been presented in a consistely funny and readable tabloid style. Maps, pictures, and fact boxes (and some very funny ads) support the text. Highly recommended.

Invaders Classic, Vol. 1 (Marvel Comics, Avengers)

Roy Thomas, Frank Robbins, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

A completely worthwile reprint from the '70s
It's no lie that writer Roy Thomas is a fan of the Golden Age of comics. He's proven it time and again on titles like All-Star Squadron, Infinity Incorporated, Alter Ego, and even in the Avenger's Kree-Skrull War. But these all pale when it comes to the Invaders, Thomas' ultimate tribute to the Marvel Comics heroes of the Forties. INVADERS CLASSIC VOLUME 1 collects Giant-Size Invaders #1, ...

Space Invaders: How Robotic Spacecraft Explore the Solar System

Springer, 2006

The long arms of Man
In the beginning half a century ago there was a real dichotomy between the perception of "manned" and "unmanned" missions. These days the difference stands between "planned", i.e. mostly imagined, manned multibillion missions with men on, say Mars, and the multihundred million real missions where you have spacecraft and instruments out among the planets, moons, comets, asteroids and whatnot, with ...

Tor Books, 2000

Necroscope:Invaders REVIEW
The book, Necroscope Defilers, is about three great vampire lords. This story takes place in Australia. It's appealing to the reader's eye because of all the detail Brain Lumely puts into the characters names and their past profiles. Also the appeal to the eye is due to the detail he puts into all the fight scenes, and the sex scenes. The author knows how to catch the audience imagination by the ...

Princeton University Press, 1999

Paleontologist Tracks Down Killer Meteorite
For those interested in the effects of giant meteorites on the earth, this book is worth reading. It is not a novel, more like a documentary, but facinating just the same. The author details his efforts to prove the existance of a giant meteor crater under Chesapeake Bay. Along the way, he details the effects of the strike on the flora and fauna of the time. This is a real-life example of the ...

Space Invaders: Race, Gender and Bodies Out of Place
Nirmal Puwar

Berg Publishers, 2004

Women and minorities are increasingly entering fields where white male power is firmly entrenched. The spaces they come to occupy are not empty or neutral, but are imbued with history and meaning. This groundbreaking book interrogates the pernicious, subtle but nonetheless widely held view that certain bodies are naturally entitled to certain spaces, while others are not. How are positions of authority racialized and gendered? How do people ...
