Summary: Excellent sequel to The Tenth Planet
Comment: What can I say, Smith has produced another great book. The Tenth Planet: Oblivion continues the story of Earth's struggle for survival against the aliens from the Tenth Planet.
The first battle has been lost, but Earth has finally gotten its act together and is ready to retaliate. Every nuclear bomb and rocket has been launched to intercept the alien menace as it rounds our sun on its way back toward Earth.
Great book and very easy reading. I read books one and two in a day. I'm starting book three right now!

Summary: Middle Ground
Comment: The Tenth Planet: Oblivion is not as riveting as the first book in the trilogy, but the action does pick up in the second half of the book. In this middle book, we see much more about the aliens. The authors show a great deal of imagination in presenting beings so foreign to us, and yet with a sense of ethics and emotions that are close to human. It's an interesting twist that these aliens are not evil, but it comes down to their survival or ours. The characterization of the humans is fair but not great. This is definitely a story of plot, not characterization. There is no great moral message that I've seen so far. I give the book 4 stars for two reasons. First, the creativity and great plot line begun in the first book of the trilogy keeps the reader eagerly pursuing the outcome. Secondly, reviews indicate that the third book, which I'm about to begin, is satisfying and better than this second book. All in all, I think any science fiction fan will like this series. It is set in the near future, making it more "real" than the far-out stuff you can try to wade through. It seems plausible that these things could happen. Enough writing--I'm headed for the couch to begin the next iteration!

Summary: Its only saving grace was that it was a very easy read.
Comment: This was a stupid book. It's only saving grace was that it was a very easy read. This trilogy started off with a good premise (aliens on a planet with a 2006 year orbit "harvest" large areas of the earth), but just got worse and worse. I don't think the folks hired to write this book (nominally, the "authors") cared about it much either.
