Well, to be honest, I didn't really expect such a good read, it seems to be the rarity for me that I find a book that I enjoy based around a film rather than vice versa, however, this book is indeed the rarity, it starts off rather slowly, and, although it never dates itself, we are led to believe that from the outset of this book, it is set in 1969, just as the first Apollo mission is bound for the moon.
Foster provides us with what can only be described as a gripping glimpse into the new Transformers universe, and provides us with a rather excellent back story as to how Megatron got to Earth and how the other Transformers found us, this book is written extraordinarily well, for what it is.
It took me all of 2 days light (well, by my definition of the word anyway) reading to finish this, so, it's not exactly an epic tale, even though it seems that way, and for any Transformers fan; it is well worth a look!
