The Last Starfighter

Alex Rogan is just an average kid, not quite brainy enough to qualify for a college loan and fool enough to get stuck fixing the plumbing on his mother's trailer lot. But he is a videogame genius - and that makes him not just average but very special indeed. Special enough to be recruited by a friendly alien power and whisked off into space to take part in a war for inter-galactic supremacy. There his unique game skills equip him to be - The Last Starfighter.

The Dark Crystal

This is an excellent novelization. Reading this book really allows the reader to be immersed in the entire world of the Dark Crystal. I loved experiencing the events of the movie in this excellent adaptation. Smith adds many dimensions to presenting the world of the Dark Crystal. While providing wonderful visual descriptions, there is also a strong attention to the sounds of the world. Sounds, from the Mystics nine chord chant, to the tones of the Crystal, Jen's pipe, Kira's song, and the sounds of the environment, fill the pages as their interrelationships are subtly described. I really can't say enough about this book.

The Chronicles of Riddick

No matter how long or how hard they strive, no matter how extensive their education as a species, no matter what they experience of the small heavens and larger hells they create for themselves, it seems that humans are destined to see their technological accomplishments always exceed their ability to understand themselves.

Taken

"Taken," the novel that was based on the original Sci-Fi Channel epic mini-series of the same title, was written by Thomas Cook. "Taken," created by Leslie Bohem, is the story of fifty years in the lives of three families, three different generations.
The novel tells an epic story that is set against the 'backdrop of historical events' starts out with the abduction of downed WWII fighter Russell Keys (who in the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series was portrayed by "General Hospital" heartthrob Steve Burton) and his squadron. Russell is critically injured by enemy fire and his plane begins to spin out of control downward into enemy territory.
