Story
The year is 2172. Climate change and nuclear disasters have rendered much of earth unlivable. Only the lucky ones have escaped to space colonies in the sky. In a war-torn Nigeria, battles are fought using flying, deadly mechs, and soldiers are outfitted with bionic limbs and artificial organs meant to protect them from the harsh, radiation-heavy climate. Across the nation, as the years-long civil war wages on, survival becomes the only way of life. Two sisters, Onyii and Ify, dream of more.

In September 1993, a TV show like no other appeared on our screens, asking us to consider the essence of truth and belief, to think about the nature and roles of science and humanity, and to question what we were told by those in power. Combining horror, science fiction, drama, crime, and comedy with cinematic filmmaking, The X-Files transported the paranoia of the sixties and seventies to the technologically savvy nineties as it followed two iconic characters, FBI Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, in their labyrinthine pursuit of truth.

you lost me when u compared My Savior 2 rock music
book facts are incorrect the sermon on the mound was the most impactful sermon the Lord Jesus ever gave enriched more people than anything I've ever known and even more than a stupid song or single that's released on a record I cannot believe he said that records reach more people than the sound on the mound that is the biggest lie I've ever heard in the biggest blasphemous comment ever heard about my savages Christ . was a big X-Files fan until they decided to go on& become blasphemous against my king so we& Savior Jesus Christ. I will no longer be continuing this series of books and I will not be taking any of my precious time I'm watching any more episodes for a very long time maybe never again! 3 you trying to purposely lose fans more and more everyday

4.5/5 stars
4.5/5 Stars The X-Files, Book 4 Ruins by Kevin J. Anderson Narrated by Patrick Lawlor
Summary:
Cassandra Rubicon and her archaeology team disappear in Mexico while investigating a new and exciting dig through some ancient Mayan ruins.
Additional Comments:
- Several other groups have a keen interest in the dig, or at least the many priceless artifacts that it holds.
- Mulder and Scully draw the case to investigate the disappearances.
- The police chief seems unhelpful. The guide seems unreliable. Both might have their own agendas. A team of US commandos get assigned to destroy the ruins because evidence suggests that it’s a base of some sort.
- The young archaeologist’s father insists on going to search for her. As he’s an experienced archaeologist himself, it’s allowed.
- The plot’s not all that complex, but it is believable in an unbelievable sort of charming x-files way. I might have read the book ages and ages ago. Definitely forgot it.
- I enjoyed the performance. There weren’t all that many characters, so the narrator didn’t have to stretch his lexicon of voices too much. He kept a nice cadence and distinguished characters well.
- Content Warnings: no curse words or unnecessary adult scenes. Some violence.
- Mulder is right but can’t prove it, of course.
- This has the original flavor of the series from eons ago.
Conclusion:
Satisfying X-Files tale.

Skully sees an actual Crypto-animal!
It was a great X-File book! They actual saved the person they meant to for once! As the title says sully actually saw a crypto-animal. Yes, she saw aliens, but never other animals that Mulder, believes in, but science doesn't in the TV series. Listen to the book for these facts alone!

The next best thing!
I’ll try to keep this brief, to the point, and w/o spoilers. “Ruins” is a super fun story from the X-Files (let’s call it “X-Verse”). Many references are made to past episodes. The story itself isn’t as wild as their more other worldly stuff, but this makes it an easier pill to swallow. Also, the X-Files isn’t truly complete w/o a visit from the Lone Gunmen, who make a brief, yet great, cameo. W/o really telling anything about the story, I can only say, that this is the next best thing, when it comes to indulging in the “X-Verse”. I’m excited to listen to another book. If you’re am X-Files fan, this will not disappoint.

Awesome!!
Is there anything you would change about this book?
No, I loved it!!
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I loved to connection to the ancient Mayan culture. . The jungle descriptions were amazing.
Which character – as performed by Patrick Lawlor – was your favorite?
Mulder is always my favorite. I love his passion for weird stuff.
Could you see Ruins being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
YES!! This book would make an amazing movie!!
Any additional comments?
I really loved the tie in with one of my favorite TV shows "Ancient Aliens". It made for a fun story and drove Scully a little crazy. Great book!!

Entertaining Alternative
A serviceable spin-off for fans of the X-Files, but it doesn't really amaze. It has all the beats of a typical thriller with the bonus of familiar characters. That said, it doesn't add to the mythos and it is missing a bit of the charm of the TV show.

more tomb raider then x-files
from the series I've heard so far, this one seems the least x filesy. reads more like a story for tomb raider. it doesn't get an x files feel until the last two hours or so. the performance of the narrator in this one was better then the other three books (in opinion). i got this 10 book series included with my membership, but so far none of the books seem to be connected to each other. it's not even really clear when they supposed to take place. so all in all if you get this series i would skip this book.
