Manhattan Transfer John E Stith 9780967298429 Books

Many years ago I read a review of "Manhattan Transfer" and decided that I wanted to read it. None of the stores that I went to on Long Island carried the book. Soon I forgot all about my quest.
Recently, I decided to try finding M.T. on Amazon. THERE IT WAS!!!!
It was a treat to finally read such an interesting and original story. Yes, it would make a GREAT movie!
The story is action packed right from the start. I enjoyed the characters and explorations into alien cities.
I agree that the "Goo" digging went on for way too long. Also, some technical explainations required a bit of skimming. The submissive alien commander seemed a bit too much, but hey, it's all FICTION!
Overall, I recommend M.T. for an exciting read!!!

Manhattan Transfer John E Stith 9780967298429 Books Reviews

One of my all-time favorite science fiction novels. I loaned out my old copy of this long ago so it is fantastic that John Stith's books are coming back into print. I can't wait to revisit them all again!
The whole island of Manhattan is kidnapped by an giant alien ship.- fast paced, creative plot with a satisfying ending. Worth your while.
I still have my hard copy of this book. I have read it at least 5 times and have marked my favorite parts. now I have it on ebook.
I think the blurb inside the book compares this to a summer blockbuster film. I'd say that's accurate in that there is a fair bit of action and tension with poorly developed characters. There is a kernel of a great sci-fi idea at the heart of this, the fact that it was so underdeveloped is the disappointing part. A little more time spent on exploring the other peoples and cultures and a little less time trying, and often succeeding, in blowing stuff up would have made this better.
it was a great book
Good book. Not super deep but great teen/tween sci/fi.
I purchased a copy of this book after another reviewer at wrote that my own novel was reminiscent of it. The story is a survivalist tale of Manhattanites who are whisked away from earth underneath a plastic dome and to a vast alien space ship, where they find the same has happened to many other cultures from various planets.

The story centers on former military man Matt Sheehey, who leads a group of engineers and scientists working to figure out the problem. They make contact with several of the other "bubble cities" and their unusual inhabitants, many of whom they cannot communicate with. The fear is that they might be part of an intergalactic zoo exhibit or worse, the sole survivors of planets due for destruction.

The action unfolds a little too leisurely at times, especially when Stith shifts back and forth between what is happening with Sheehan and his investigative team and what is going on back in Manhattan. It is the former scenes that left me on the edge of my seat.
Another intriguing aspect is the encounters between earthlings and others and how they must learn to communicate. At times Stith's technical descriptions are convoluted, which tempts the reader to skim over some of the narrative. For once, we find an alien race that breaks the stereotypical mode of earth invaders who are lecturing do-gooders and who are given an atypical appearance compared to what is found in most sci-fi fare.

However, the conclusion serves up a smooth twist that I never saw coming and is not some logic-defying ending pulled out of thin air. It is a well thought out piece of cloth that may not provide full closure, but leaves the reader satisfied. While I haven't read any of Stith's other works, and this won't make me rush out and by them, Manhattan Transfer is a likeable enough story and earns three-and-a-half out of five stars.
