Lois reviewed First Contact by J. M. Dillard
Review of 'First Contact' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Even though this was an abridged audiobook, it didn't feel like it, and filled in the movie in great and unexpected ways. So, not my favorite movie (that's still Generations!), but loved the book.
---------
5/4/22 - read the whole, unabridged book, and still liked it; there's not a whole heck of a lot that gets added to the movie story, but what there is, is definitely important and wish it was somehow added to the movie itself, mostly that the movie shows Cochrane just basically a drunk that wants to make money. But here, it goes into he's drunk to control his manic mental illness that was controlled (though not cured) before the war but after, since resources were no longer around flourished to the depths it did.
