We Will Destroy Your Planet: An Alien's Guide to Conquering the Earth by David McIntee
4.0
*** Review copy provided by Osprey Publishing
*** Review posted on Gnostalgia
I love classic scifi, vintage horror, and dark humor. What could be more entertaining to someone like me than a book discussing methods and tactics for aliens conquering the world? We Will Destroy Your Planet is written as a how-to book for conquering the world.
Of course, the book is written for aliens who read English and who have a solid understanding of Earth’s scifi TV and movies *wink*. We Will Destroy Your Planet is not the type of book to over-think, at it’s heart it is a trivia book. I really enjoyed the excellent scifi trivia. As much as I love scifi, I have to admit that I was very impressed with the science fact. One the downside, the lines between the science fact and science fiction occasionally blurred (don’t they always).
The illustrations by Miguel Corimba were very good and I enjoyed them. Although a fun read for me, I think that this book may only appeal to the scifi fan with a dark sense of humor. I give We Will Destroy Your Planet 4 Star-ships out of 5.
