This isn't what I expected it to be like at all. Sci-fi I generally expect to have strange looking aliens and stuff , and this did but it was a gradual thing. We started off on Earth and slowly transition to Ethar, new words which are explained, new creatures also explained. New everything, all of which was explained. We weren't just dumped in the middle of the world and left to fend for ourselves.
Then add in the romance element and I was hooked. It was soooo goooood! Even went and bought the second and third books at the half way point through this. Off to start book 2 now!!!

Usually I have stayed away from [Harry Turtledove] since stuff with aliens is not my thing and that is what I thought about when I saw his books but in the first installment of [Supervolcano] I was happy to not see one alien! [Turtledove] does have a good story telling style and perhaps I may give some of his alternative history a shot.

Unusual amongst the early-50s flying saucer movies in not featuring malevolent aliens, although given this is famously an allegory for the life of Christ, Klaatu is a surprisingly ambiguous figure, and the film's subtext is not nearly as liberal as you might expect: the message is an authoritarian one, 'do as you are told, or else'. Still a classic of the genre, with striking, much-copied special effects sequences and music, a literate and thoughtful script, and terrific performances and direction.
