Now that their best chance for returning to the home planet has left without them, the "Czechoslovakian" residents of Roswell (code for aliens) must adjust to a more permanent existence on earth than they were expecting. Seeing a possible future for teh two of them, Maria nags Michael about money, sending him packing on a salaried weekend trip to help a geologist study a proposed chemical company site. As the group camps out under the stars, a round of spooky ghost stories provides entertainment--until one of the guys sees a real ghost. The kicker? Michael can see it too.

River Dog has also been plagued by the shades of the past in recent days, and he brings Max out to the desert to bear witness as the apparition threatens him. He tells Max of an ancient Mesaliko prophecy that tells of vengeance being exacted by the tribe's ancestors if Visitors are allowed to remain among them--Visitors like Max, Michael, and Isabel. As the hauntings increase in both frequency and violence, the alien teens and their friends know they must uncover the true origin of the phantoms--whether physical, mystical, or alien--before the ghosts follow through on their deadly threats.

8 out of 10

Always happy to go on another adventure with these characters. This one was a bit strange, though. A bit Night of the Living Dead meets science fiction. (Also, whoever proofread this book did a crappy job - Max drives two different cars when it should obviously be the same car and the name "Michael" is written in when "Max" is obviously meant.)

Yay! My summer reading list is filling up! I am reading the Roswell novels as a "pallete-cleanser" between heavy fiction and sci-fi... thanks again, karendawn, for keeping these coming!!!

This one reminded me more of an X-Files episode with the ghosts and general creepiness. Not too bad. Yes, I agree about the poor editing! Blech!

I had a reading frenzy of these about a week ago and finished them all up. They are off to caligula03 soon!
