"Alien Eyes" by Lynn S. Hightower
- reviewed by Rex Croft  [email-masked]

This is a good SciFi police detective thriller involving humans and aliens.

The Elaki aliens are shaped like upright matra ray fish and some of them are
living on Earth.  This is the second novel about detective David Silver and
his cases involving the Elaki.  The first novel was called "Alien Blues".
Both are fast moving and keep your attention.

In "Alien Eyes" Silver has to find out why a family of Elaki young were
murdered.  He has to uncover alien politics which has moved from their home
planet to Earth.

The world is very similar to ours except for the presence of the alien
Elaki.  Not much additional technology is evident.

I will buy the next volume in this series, if there is one.

It looks like blind screaming hedonism won out.
