Antibodies is a new tale of eerie suspense, an original novel not adapted from any episode. It is a tale in which FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully face the horrifying effects of a bio-engineered miracle cure that may have learned how to kill instead.
i ordered this book thinking i was getting a full size book. when it came i realized that it was a small almost pocket size book. despite its small size the book does not disapoint. it was a great quick read with 3 x-files stories in it. bottom line. totally worth the 8$ total that i paid for it. i might be hesitant to buy it for more than 10$ + shipping as it is a small quick book.
Best of a good series so far

"Antibodies" is the best so far of a decent series of X-Files novelizations, the last three authored by Kevin J. Anderson. "Ground Zero" is a very close second, which was also penned by Anderson.What is so enthralling about "Antibodies" is that elements from the television series are woven into this story in a manner that that flows naturally with the narrative. Scully's combat with cancer in the TV series is used as a motivating factor in the novel, but her internal conflicts over her potential for motherhood is subtly worked in as well. Anderson does a little better also at injecting Mulder's sarcasm into the dialogue. His quips are more natural than they have been in other novels, which in my opinion came off as being forced.And the book even has a brief, but significant appearance, of another important character from the television series.In all, I sensed Anderson's comfort with the characters, and I do hope there are other novelizations in the works. It would be a shame for the series to switch authors again now that Anderson has shown his expertise at crafting an X-File story with characters that ring true to the series in a manner that they don't come off as two-dimentional or even cartoonish.How about it Anderson? Let's crank out a few more!

Im a 13 year old girl and I love the X-Files.. this book is so good i couldn't put it down... it seems like Chris Carter wrote it himself. It was also different because it had a child in the story and Scully helped the child..she had a connection with him.I like when young people get involved with the X-files ,it makes it exciting. It was also partially realistic because of the way it was about finding a cure for cancer and then losing it..it makes you think how that could've really happened somewhere in the world. It really makes you think. -Danielle
This is the best X-Files book ever!

I think that this is the best X-Files novel written up to this date! Kevin J Anderson's latest is truly the best! Keep it up Kevin!
