Millions thrilled to Kenneth Johnson's hugely popular mini-series "V," an action filled drama of alien invasion, a TV event that was also a number one bestselling novel. Now, in a new novel based on the sequel miniseries currently being developed for TV, the tension between The Visitors and Earth's human inhabitants has reached a boiling point.The reptilian Visitors, who cleverly portray themselves as Earth's protectors, are anything but. Our oceans are being drained in order to fuel the aliens' motherships, and our scientists are treated like wanted criminals. And they have pods of preserved humans destined for even more sinister purposes.But hope is not lost. A small, yet resourceful Resistance risks everything to undermine the Visitors' stranglehold on Earth's people. Despite their heroic efforts, without more help they will be crushed by the Visitors and their human militia. Just when Earth's doom seems inevitable, agents of an alien civilization from another planet arrive in answer to humanity's desperate call for help. But can these other aliens be trusted? Or might we defeat one alien overlord, only to be delivered intothe hands of another, equally as oppressive?Time is running out for the Resistance, for when the Visitors' Leader arrives, the aliens will complete their mission on Earth, with devastating consequences for all life on the planet.… (más)

Not too bad, but I think I'll stick with the TV series. ( )

Get this book from the library, or skip it entirely. Book does continue the TV series. Its in a universe where Earth never drove the Visitors off Earth. The plot is predictable . The writing is wooden. ( )

I was ecstatic when I found out that Kenneth Johnson had produced another V book, having been quite a fan of the series in my younger years. During the first few chapters of The Second Generation I was slightly disoriented because I did not realize that it is a direct sequel to the original V and completely disregards V: The Final Battle (and all subsequent V books). Events that happened in that installment have not occurred and there are some major changes to assimilate. Once I got my bearings I really started to enjoy it.
The parallels between V and WWII were always obvious but as a kid I really only appreciated V for the alien-invasion aspect of it. Now that I'm older and I've read several books concerning the occupation of Paris and the French Resistance, the whole occupier/occupied dynamic really came to the foreground of the story.
This book feels exactly like a class reunion: meeting up with old friends 20 years later to see who's fat and bald and who has kids. I enjoyed what Johnson did with the material and I will always welcome another frolic in the V saga. ( )
