Biographie de l'auteur

Kevin J. Anderson has published more than eighty novels, including twenty-nine national bestsellers. He has been nominated for the Nebula Award, the Bram Stoker Award, and the SFX Reader's Choice Award. His critically acclaimed original novels include Captain Nemo, Hopscotch, and Hidden Empire. He has also collaborated on numerous series novels, including Star Wars, The X-Files, and Dune. In his spare time, he also writes comic books. He lives in Wisconsin.



Kevin Anderson is accustomed to flying through space on the heels of extraterrestrial beings toward distant galaxies to save the universe. Usually, he's just along for the ride with Han Solo or Princess Leia, but Anderson recently returned to Earth and teamed up with FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully to uncover an X-traordinary tale of phenomenon in Anderson's own backyard.

Jumping from the ships of Star Wars into the shadowy atmosphere of The X-Files is no leap of faith for Anderson, 32. He relishes the science fiction genre and has rocketed him to fame with 14 novels, including his best-selling anthology of short stories, Star Wars: Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina. Anderson and his co-writer, Doug Beason, won a nomination for the Nebula Award for best science-fiction novel with their work on Assemblers of Infinity. Another novel, Ignition, was recently sold to Universal Studios to be made into a major motion picture.

In Ground Zero, Mulder and Scully begin their investigation of unexplained murders at a nuclear research facility, set not far from Anderson's real-life home in Livermore, California, where he resides with his wife Rebecca Moesta and his 8-year-old stepson, Jonathan. It's also the site of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where Anderson was employed as a technical writer/editor for 13 years.

Gillian Anderson, an award-winning actress on the New York stage, is best known for her starring role as Special Agent Dana Scully on the hit Fox television series The X-Files. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 The X-Files Ground Zero by: Kevin J. Anderson 12 avril 2002
L'évaluation d'un enfant - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Poche
Kevin J. Anderson crafted not only an X-Files masterpiece, but also a science-fiction masterpiece. Ground Zero is an action-packed science-fiction thriller. I love it is worth every cent. Kevin J. Anderson wrote both Mulder and Scully perfectly in tune with their TV personalities. Ground Zero really deserved it's number one spot on the London Times Bestseller's List. IF YOU ARE AN X-PHILE, OR YOU JUST LIKE THE X-FILES, THEN YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK! Ground Zero is a book about a typical X-File, people die under mysterious circumstances on federal property so Mulder and Scully are called in. Ground Zero is pretty much about nuclear weapons, nuclear weapon testing, and one man's revenge. It all starts at a nuclear weapons research facility where Dr. Emil Gregory sits down to work. Eventually his secretary brings him a package. In the package is a ziploc baggy containing a strange black ash and a note that says "for your part in the past". A short time after that there is a power shortage in Dr. Gregory's office. After a minute of panicking, a fireball spontaneously appears in the center of the office and engulfs Dr. Gregory.

1.0 étoiles sur 5 A review of the abridged audiobook 9 avril 2009
Par DWD - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Poche
So, how can I say this succintly and clearly?

The abridged audiobook is not good. It is bad. It is not well read. It has few of the best qualities of the TV show.

Read by Gillian Anderson, the abrdiged audiobook clocks in at about 3 hours and read unenthusiastically by Gillian Anderson. One of the reasons I picked this one up is that I figured she'd read it well. It says it was recorded in Vancouver in 1995 (where the show was filmed) and it sounds like she read it between takes. She sounds tired and completely uninterested in the text.

Then again, when you look at what she was reading, I cannot blame her for being uninterested. This book has none of the zip of the show. Mulder's lines are almost non-existant. No smart-aleck lines or observation. No wry sense of humor that makes even the weakest of the TV shows watchable (I love the X-Files but let's face it - every episode is not being shipped to the TV Hall of Fame...). This book is a tired and pale imitation of what the show was. You can see the ending coming and you wish it would just hurry up and get here. Perhaps the abridgement gutted the book but I was glad it was abridged.

The science behind this audiobook is laughable. Not the supernatural stuff - that's what the X-Files is all about. I mean the atomic science. Does the author really think that anyone can explode an atomic bomb without radiation detectors picking up on it? Remember Chernobyl? The West knew it had gone wrong long before the Soviets admitted to it because it was detected by Western atomic sensors. Atomic blasts show up on seismographs. That's how we knew India and Pakistan had them. But, let's ignore facts like that and roll right along with a silly premise.

Skip this one.

4.0 étoiles sur 5 Supernatural happenings in a nuclear age 11 novembre 2005
Par Kathryn J. Blake - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Cassette
This is a review of the audiobook version of Ground Zero by Kevin Anderson read by Gillian Anderson.

Set against the world of government sponsored nuclear weapons research , Ground Zero has agents Mulder and Scully investigating the death of a researcher who is blown to bits - but the rest of his office is intact. There is no known personal sized nuke- so what happened? The audiobook is read by Gillian Anderson , and the abridgement has the focus on Scully's part of the investigation and the unlikely supernatural conclusion that takes the agents to the south pacific and the site of a planned above ground test of a new super weapon.

Anderson's reading is great! I got a good chuckle out of her comments about how that Mulder's theories were bound to be way out there and not grounded in science. Well paced, the book moves along with action and theory and some cool supernatural mysticism concerning a lost tribe , wiped out by an above ground nuclear test in the 50s and their long journey to retribution and vengeance from beyond......
