Customer Reviews:
Not enough backstory!.......2004-03-09
I love the X-Files, and I wanted to read more of the "backstory" of each episode.
Instead, most of the book is wasted on the synopses for each episode. Usually, 6 pages is wasted on the story summary, and only one page on the backstory.
We don't need 6 pages of story summary for each episode: we can watch that! Instead, give us more on the background! .
An X-pectacular spin-off for X-fans........2002-05-13
As an x-fan, I did read this book from cover to cover and I found itselft, an amazing book for everyone that call himself and x-philo.
This book is very good in everything, execpt for some pictures that were in b/w.... But that doesnt matter when you find, such an x-pectacular piece of art.
Great for FX fans.......2002-04-17
If you're an x files fan, you will appreciate this book. What I enjoyed was that every episode sypnosis followed the sequence of the television show. What was also great was that it gave background information on every episode.
If you missed this season, Just read this BOOK!.......2000-05-22
It's almost as good as having a detailed script of every episode of this season! The detail that goes into the writing is beyond excellent! I didn't get involved with the X-files from day one, but I caught up by reading these excellent guides, and lots and lots of re-runs!
The unofficial guide to The X-Files Vol. 3.......2000-01-24
This is a very vivid guide to The X-Files in their earlier seasons. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and discovering all the interesting facts that this book had to give. I am a fan of The X-Files and I have watched the show for five years. I think this is a very good literary work. If you like The X-Files, I highly recommend this!

A great X-Files book to accompany your X-Files Collection!.......2001-07-18
Trust No One is a complex book that provides insight to any reader about one of the best shows, if not THE best, on television, The X-Files. This book is adorned with many facts and pictures that reveal an enormous amount of behind-the-scenes information that is helpful to a serious fan. I have gathered from it many details that I have put into my own episode guide. I highly recommend this if you are a die-hard X-Phile. Enjoy!
The book was interesting to read but the pictures were dull........1998-04-18
The book was great to read and the third season of X-Files was exciting.However,the pictures were stupid and all should have been in color.Whoever had the idea of printing those pictures in a dark black and white should think again.Next time when they begin making the 5th season guide book they should print nice, clear, bright pictures along with the episode synopsises.
This was a pretty good book.......1997-12-14
Since i am blind, i had my sister read it to me. i thought it to be pretty intresting and my sister described the pictures to me and i thought they were cool. i can't wait for the next season book to come out.
Very Disappointing.......1997-02-05
I really enjoyed the first book, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE, which covered the first two seasons of the X-Files. But this book only covers one season and the authors Lowry and Stegall want you to dish out another $15. Even the color photos have been seen a gillion times before in other magazines. Don't waste your money on such a blatant attempt by Rupert Murdoch's publishing company to milk this cow for all its worth. I usually enjoy Sarah Stegall's online reviews, but I can't believe she would be involved in such crass commercialism as this book. Shame on her, shame on the publisher, and shame on me for buying this crap
Sequel to X-Files Guide is better than any available!.......1997-01-14
Wow! This X-Files guide is just as good, and even better, than its preceding guide. The third season guide to The X-Files showcases as many facts and background information from the show and its stars as the first guide by Brian Lowry. You'll be amazed to read how the third season cliffhanger, Talitha Cumi, was written and produced as you are taken step-by-step through both post- and pre-production. This novel provides behind-the-scenes interviews with the stars--both off-screen and on--of this glorious cult drama. Once again Brian Lowry does a superb job of composing descriptive episode summaries, and now even adds a cool color-photo insert taken from the set of the seasons best episodes. A deffinate gotta-have-it for fans, The Official Third Season Guide to the X-Files proves both fascinating and entertaining time after time to read

Book Description
Head Hunting
When Leonard Betts's body disappears from the morgue after being decapitated in a violent accident, Special Agents Mulder and Scully are called in to investigate the situation. Mulder has a theory that Leonard has the ability to regenerate himself. But Scully believes that someone is taking extreme measures to cover up what really happened.
While Mulder chases his headless suspect, Scully does some investigating of her own. And before long, she learns the unbelievable truth about Leonard Betts--as well as a frightening secret about herself.
Customer Reviews:
The X-Files: Regeneration.......2000-03-12
This is a book of The X-Files episode "Leonard Betts". It is one of the scariest episodes, and the end of it leads to the revelation of Scully's cancer, which is obviously a very important event in the history of The X-Files, as any fan of the show will know. It is also hardback, which I greatly appreciated, and is well worth the money.

Object Oriented Programming with C++ and OSF/Motif (2nd Edition)
ASIN: 0132073900 |
Book Description
As more and more professionals in the software industry gain experience in both object-oriented (OO) development and the graphical user interface (GUI), it has become clear that not only do GUI libraries have a number of advantages over other kinds of libraries, but they are also fun to work with! Using Motif with C++ provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a library for programming GUIs in the C++ programming language. Written for beginning or experienced Motif programmers, this book serves both as a tutorial for writing a portable Motif-based interface library in C++ and as a reference for enhancing and maintaining such software. This essential book introduces readers to the fundamental concepts required to use the Motif C language interface including the even driven input model, callbacks, event handlers, and widgets.
Customer Reviews:
Experience is needed.......2001-04-12
This is a great book, but I wouldn't recommend it for an absolute beginner. The topics covered in the first chapter is a slight review of C++, then the author dives straight into the world of Motif. I highly recommend you are both familiar with Motif, Xlib, and C++ before reading this book. The author attempts to lower the learning curve, but object oriented programming with GUI development can never be made too easy. Within the last few chapters topic covered are more advanced classes and design of classes with the Xlib toolkit. I recommend this book as a quick way to tie together what you alredy know in Motif and C++. But would recommend you purchases the Motif reference manual along with this as the authore makes many references to commands and libraries which you may have probably long forgotten.

Book Description
Deadly Prison Outbreak
When a highly infectious disease breaks out with in the confines of the Cumberland State Correctional Facility, Special Agents Mulder and Scully are called in to find the cause of the epidemic, and put a stop to it.
Outside the prison walls, Mulder risks his reputation--and his--life to track down two escaped prisoners--who may or may not be infected. Meanwhile, on the inside, Scully finds herself facing a full quarantine--and set of doctors who are as silent about the situation as the bodies they are burning.
Can Mulder and Scully find the men before this plague claims more lives?
Customer Reviews:
"Deadly Prison Outbreak".......2003-03-25
"Quarantine" is a pretty good novelization, based on the Season 2 X-Files episode, "F. Emasculata." In it, a highly infectious disease is transported from a Costa Rican rain forest to a Virginian prison, killing more than a dozen inmates in the process--except for two very dangerous convicts who have escaped. Hence FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are called in to investigate. Scully's responsible for the medical aspect of the investigation--uncovering a secret quarantine that could jeopardize her life--while Mulder is left to do the legwork--tracking down the two suspects, who are not only deadly in the physical sense of the word (they were incarcerated for murder), but they could have infected numerous people as well.
It's been a long time since I've seen the episode, so I can't really compare it to this novelization. I did notice, though, that the storyline is fairly similar to Stephen King's "The Stand," so if you're into conspiracies, deadly diseases and all that, then you'll probably like "Quarantine." However, easily-nauseated readers may want to pass this one up, since there are a few descriptive scenes involving pus-erupting boils and red-orange beetles that dwell inside them. If you're a fast reader, you can probably finish this book in about the same time it would take to watch the episode. It's a breeze to read, considering the spare writing and only 117 pages to get through. Definitely for the young X-Files crowd, but older fans should like it too.
Great book.......2000-01-17
This was the first x files book I read. I think it was wrote very good and I loved the story line even though lots of the parts reminded me alot of a couple of there shows

Quarantine (X-Files (Juvenile))
ASIN: 0064471802 |
Book Description
When FBI Special Agents Mulder and Scully are sent to a Haitian refugee camp to investigate a string of mysterious deaths, they find that someone is turning corpses into killers. In a case where murder is just the beginning, the two agents must follow a twisting trail of buried clues––that could lead them straight to the grave!
Amazon.com
In The X-Files episode "The Erlenmeyer Flask," FBI agent Dana Scully shows some bacteria to microbiologist Anne Carpenter, who pronounces them extraterrestrial: containing different DNA nucleotides than those found in Earthly organisms. But like the hapless redshirts of Star Trek, scientists who uncover extraterrestrial evidence have shortened life expectancies. Indeed, Carpenter is soon snuffed out in a highly suspicious car crash. But the real scientist on whom she was based, University of Massachusetts virologist Anne Simon, remained as scientific advisor to the popular program: she is the "X-Pert."
In her book, Simon describes the scientific basis of various X-Files episodes, and writes about some of her behind-the-scenes work putting the Scully into Scully. Sometimes it gets a little difficult to keep track of when Simon is describing an episode and when she's talking about cutting-edge science, but that's part of her point: "The life of a research scientist is filled with mysteries as complex as any that appear on The X-Files. We are Scullys." Simon knows that this show, for all its paranormal apparatus, gives a taste of the thrill of real science, enough to be inspiring a new generation to follow in Scully's footsteps. --Mary Ellen Curtin
Book Description
Could an alien organism really survive a centuries-long trip on a meteor and remain virulent enough to attack a human being? How would a scientist know she was peering at a microbe from another planet? What's the possibility of a genetically mutated monster actually developing?
In a gripping exploration of the facts behind the science fiction that has enthralled millions of X-philes, Anne Simon -- the respected virologist who comes up with the science for many intriguing episodes -- discusses telomeres, cloning, the Hayflick limit, nanotechnology, endosymbionts, lentiviruses, and other strange phenomena that have challenged the intellect and threatened the lives and sanity of America's favorite FBI agents. With Simon's extraordinary gift for explaining complicated, cutting-edge science in a light, accessible style, and her behind-the-scenes commentary on the development of various plot lines, The Real Science Behind the X-Files will appeal to science buffs and X-Files aficionados alike.
Customer Reviews:
A witty and intelligent guide.......2006-09-22
Simon writes wittily and intelligently about a number of subjects, all of which have been dramatized on the hugely popular television show "The X-Files." There have been other books about the show, episode guides and the like, but for my money this book is best.
Dummies Guide to Science.......2006-03-30
I bought this as a bargain book but it is worth the full price! The author writes in a knowledgeable yet humourous style which makes absorption of the subject matter easy for non-scientists, and less than 40 pages into an information packed book I have learned such a lot already. I rated it 4 star because I would have liked to see a glossary at the back and colour photographs would have made a very interesting book moreso. For example, what do the sea slugs that prefer to try to eat each other before taking the alternative option of having sex look like? Other reviews here tell you that the book is based on science fact and fiction touched upon in the X-Files so I don't need to go there. Read it, learn, and laugh. There is nothing funnier than real life.
Simply Wonderful !.......2005-04-24
I love the X files and I'm a mixture of Mulder and Scully with regard to their beliefs. But after reading this book, I think I have become a scully!This book is so lucid and simple in its explanation of certain "paranormal" phenomenon. The author does a wondeful job combining biology and humour to explain to the lay person that not all things are paranormal and that if you do a little scientific research most of the things out there will make sense. All my knowledge on DNA, chromosomes, cancer comes from this book !Though she herself admits that not everything you see on the X files can be explained by science, most of the things that happen on a macro scale in the X files happen on a micro scale in real life. Genetic mutation is a reality, a virus surviving an cosmic travel is plausible, and so on. Finally, for those of you who are deceived by books written by the layperson/idiots/quacks, read this book and you will become fascinated as to what science has to offer.
For the Scientist and Non-Scientist.......2000-09-24
I came upon this book at the house of a friend and couldn't put it down.
It is a wonderful read and, to a non-scientist, an entertaining and clear look at some of the scientific mysteries of the universe.
This is a perfect book for a graduation present and for anyone with an interest in brain-sucking worms, aliens and mutating organisms. I recommend it highly.
Way More Entertaining than a normal biology textbook..........2000-09-19
Sexual tension aside, the coolest thing about this show seems to be the questions it poses about nature and science as we know it. And being a molecular biology student, I always get a kick out of shooting down the supposed theories that the show's characters spout out. It's hard sometimes to figure out if Chris Carter and the powers that be are really serious about certain phenomenons/ideas. This book clears it up nicely. Dr. Simon is completely knowledgeable about these topics and presents the information with much more gusto than your typical molecular biology textbook. I'd rather be tested on her book come final exams, but such is life! :)

Book Description
It is Yu Lan in San Francisco's Chinatown, the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts -- a time of year when offerings are made to appease the ghosts roaming the earth. Only this time several murders have occurred, and the last victim left behind one message: the Chinese character meaning ghost.Locals fear that perhaps the Hungry Ghosts have not been appeased, and are seeking revenge. But when Special Agents Mulder and Scully are asked to investigate, they stumble upon a deadly lottery run by a secret society of Chinese immigrants. The winner receives a large sum of money -- but the cost of losing could mean death.

This book is about a chinese holiday which ghost come to look for food.A man named Xin gets into a gaming game which can cause him his life.He did lose one eye.If you want to know the whole story then read the book is very good.
Comment on the research done for this story.......1999-05-15
The author has clearly done his work or he himself has known about this Chinese festivals long ago. I'm a Chinese and found that there are some parts of the story about the Hungry Ghosts Festival quite true but some far from reality. the Hungry Ghosts Festival is not about the dead coming back to take revenge. Instead the dead just rises and comes back to recieve their loved ones. Actually it's just a festival celebrated and prepared by us, the Chinese. Not really as scary as in the book.
Non stop thrill of action.......1999-01-13
This book has a good climax the book suspence you. It has alot of action and some sad parts.About when Hsin has a daugther that has cancer and he does not want her to die not like her mother.I do recomend this book to others that like mystories because it has a litle mystory you must find out in this book.
