Review Summaries
"Jay and Elle are back in this sequel to Smith's Green Saliva Blues. This time, they are tracking a saboteur that invited the Grazers - the most hated race in the galaxy who feed endlessly on a planet's plant life - to earth. Now, thousands of Alien Spacecraft are massing above Earth united by the common goal of getting rid of the Grazers. So, before guns and tempers start flaring, the Men in Black must get the Grazers out, and find the sabatour whose trail leads straight to Men in Black headquarters. This one, while not as funny, was far more edgier and a bit more thought provoking. It still had an easy to follow plot, and just as its predecessor, is a worthy addition to the Men in Black series. All in all, a very good book."
Jacob Knudsen, Resident Dean Wesely Smith Scholar
