Review by Craig Jones, author of the Gem Series and What Happened to Rhodri.

Alien Apocalypse : The Hunger’ is not so much Apocalypse Now as it is Apocalypse Then. Dean Giles fills in the back story of Leon and his son Elliott. Ever since The Phantom Menace I’ve been more than a little afraid of prequels, but this one is different.  The opening chapter is simply relentless...a runaway train that, having read ‘The Storm,’ I knew was heading for one almighty crash. The pace of the writing is electric, but that doesn’t blur the images that Giles paints so well in the reader’s imagination. Like I said, I knew what was coming, but that still didn’t stop me from being on the edge of my seat! Especially when Giles gives us a creepy introduction to the growing consciousness that is the villain of the piece... I don’t want to give too much away about that but suffice to say that it’s a more worrying sensation to know that the green growths from ‘The Apocalypse’ have intent.

Dean Giles has something special bubbling away here and I cannot wait for the next episode. This is a Five Star story that we’re getting for free! How can anyone resist?
