Synopses & Reviews
Kenneth Johnsons Warner Bros. television series
V swept the nation and drew in hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide. Now, the novel
V is finally back in print, with an all-new, never-before-seen revised ending.
V tells the exciting story of mysterious Alien visitors who are ready to solve Earths problems. But soon after arriving, the Aliens true nature is revealed, and like so many oppressive regimes of Earths past, as long as people are not directly under attack, they will turn a blind eye to their tyrannical overlords. Now it is up to a small band of resistance fighters who know the aliens true nature to stand up for all of humanity. Few people are quick to join their cause, and the fight to expose the aliens to the public will not be an easy one.
With fast-paced action, political intrigue and memorable characters, V is sure to stir fond memories for fans of the original miniseries, as well as make fans out of a new generation.
Review
Praise for the original miniseries:
"V [is] dazzling. An intelligent, imaginative, engrossing four hour drama. V is a thought-provoking, sometimes shocking drama that keeps the viewer engaged."
--New York Daily News
"Nothing less that a retelling of history - the rise of the Nazis done as a cautionary science fiction fable.…It is by politics and ideology that you will know V."
--New York Times
