Title: Interesting story, dismal style
Product review: I must admit that I feel envious when an exotic, fascinating premise is treated in such a pedestrian style. Wish I had thought of it first!Since Becker's only stated credentials are as a screenwriter, perhaps that's to be expected.Alien influence on the development of homo sapiens is a fun topic, as Erich Von Daniken showed a few years back, particularly when its sprinkled with a variety of supposedly scientific ideas, but the tedious romance (not worthy of Harlequin), the silly G-men, and the gratuitous gunplay really drag this one down.
