Good series tie-in novelization
Our favorite FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully investigate a nuclear mystery in this tie-in that dates back to when the X-Files was a thriving TV series. As tie-ins go, this one is pretty good. Kevin J. Anderson's written a lot of sci-fi tie-ins and he wisely avoids the number-one pitfall these sort of things make - he does not turn the series characters we care about into supporting characters shoehorned into a story they otherwise have nothing to do with. Anderson stays true to the spirit of the characters and TV show and if it weren't for the fact that this would require a very large budget, this could almost have been one of the more intriguing episodes of the series.

Is this worth reading if you aren't a fan of the series? I don't know. Anderson assumes familiarity with the basic premise of the X-Files so if you haven't seen the TV show you may not understand much of the dynamic between Mulder and Scully and why they seem to get so little support from the FBI in their investigations. The mystery at hand is one of the more unusual paranormal ideas I've come across, and I just wish Anderson set it up so that someone could enjoy it as a standalone without ever watching the TV show. Still, I may have erred on the side of generosity by giving this a 4 rather than a 3 but this was one of the more entertaining books I've read on my commute in a while. If only the most recent X-files movie as nearly this good . . .

A good read for X-Files fans
In Ground Zero Mulder and Scully investigate the mysterious deaths of two people involved with a secret government project that involves a new type of nuclear device and an above ground test that is against international law. They manage to get a trip to the test site to watch the detonation. Once there they meet up with one of their suspects, a scientist turned nuclear protester and her friend, a blind man whose skin is covered in burn scars and who carries the secret to what has been happening.

Ground Zero has a great plot and excellent use of the supernatural that made the X-Files such a fascinating show. The characters don't have extreme depth, but are well drawn. While the ending is telegraphed, Anderson uses great descriptive language to paint the scenes. Mulder and Scully could have been a bigger part of the story and the author didn't really capture Mulder's personality, but Ground Zero was a very enjoyable read.

A review of the abridged audiobook
So, how can I say this succintly and clearly?

The abridged audiobook is not good. It is bad. It is not well read. It has few of the best qualities of the TV show.

Read by Gillian Anderson, the abrdiged audiobook clocks in at about 3 hours and read unenthusiastically by Gillian Anderson. One of the reasons I picked this one up is that I figured she'd read it well. It says it was recorded in Vancouver in 1995 (where the show was filmed) and it sounds like she read it between takes. She sounds tired and completely uninterested in the text.

Then again, when you look at what she was reading, I cannot blame her for being uninterested. This book has none of the zip of the show. Mulder's lines are almost non-existant. No smart-aleck lines or observation. No wry sense of humor that makes even the weakest of the TV shows watchable (I love the X-Files but let's face it - every episode is not being shipped to the TV Hall of Fame...). This book is a tired and pale imitation of what the show was. You can see the ending coming and you wish it would just hurry up and get here. Perhaps the abridgement gutted the book but I was glad it was abridged.

The science behind this audiobook is laughable. Not the supernatural stuff - that's what the X-Files is all about. I mean the atomic science. Does the author really think that anyone can explode an atomic bomb without radiation detectors picking up on it? Remember Chernobyl? The West knew it had gone wrong long before the Soviets admitted to it because it was detected by Western atomic sensors. Atomic blasts show up on seismographs. That's how we knew India and Pakistan had them. But, let's ignore facts like that and roll right along with a silly premise.

Skip this one.

Intriguing from Beginning to End
Of the three X-Files novelizations by Kevin J. Anderson, I think I like this one best. The plot is fast-paced and the story line is mysterious.

It's a shame that there are only a few X-Files novelizations by Anderson and other authors. I loved the show and am just discovering these books.

Now, it's too bad there aren't any "Millennium" novelizations!

Supernatural happenings in a nuclear age
This is a review of the audiobook version of Ground Zero by Kevin Anderson read by Gillian Anderson.
Set against the world of government sponsored nuclear weapons research , Ground Zero has agents Mulder and Scully investigating the death of a researcher who is blown to bits - but the rest of his office is intact. There is no known personal sized nuke- so what happened? The audiobook is read by Gillian Anderson , and the abridgement has the focus on Scully's part of the investigation and the unlikely supernatural conclusion that takes the agents to the south pacific and the site of a planned above ground test of a new super weapon.
Anderson's reading is great! I got a good chuckle out of her comments about how that Mulder's theories were bound to be way out there and not grounded in science. Well paced, the book moves along with action and theory and some cool supernatural mysticismconcerning a lost tribe , wiped out by an above ground nuclear test in the 50s and their long journey to retribution and vengeance from beyond...... ...
