A caveat
By Mel Kharidze
I bought this item, thinking it was Barry Longyear's original novelette. This item is NOT the original novelette (a reprint of which is at Enemy Mine). Note the joint authorship on this item between Barry Longyear and David Gerrold. This item is a novelization of the movie "Enemy Mine" (1985).
More confusing yet, the "Look Inside" link (as of 21 Apr 2009) takes you (incorrectly) to the original novel as reprinted by IUniverse, not (correctly) to this novelization of the movie as published by Charter Books. The "Just so you know..." message leaves the impression that they're just different editions of the same book. They're not just different editions. They're different stories.
A few of the differences between the two: The original novel begins with the confrontation between human and alien on the ground. How they got there is later told in retrospect in a couple of paragraphs. The novelization of the movie begins at the "starbase" and descibes the space battle step by step in 5 chapters/19 pages. The original novel puts them on an island up against frequent tidal waves. The equivalent in the novelization of the movie is repeated meteor showers, and they're on a continent. In the original, they eat snakes to survive. In the novelization, they eat mock turtles. Pretty much all of the details in the stories are different, but the general gist is similar. The original novel is 96 pages long. The novelization of the movie has 218 pages.
Between the two, I prefer what I've read of the original novel, but the novelization of the movie is a good story, too, and it's cheap: I bought my like-new used paperback for a penny (plus $3.99 shipping and handling, of course).

Heartfelt
By Scott T. Barnes
This is quite simply one of the best books I've ever read. I believe it was originally published in a magazine as a novella and then reprinted in book form to make money. It is rather short, but every page is worth five in a typical novel. The story is deceptively simple: a human and an alien crashland on an ocean world and most work together to survive. The story has been done before, but never so well as this. The beginning is solid suspense while the middle is a tear jerker. The final third is less intense and moves to more of a cerebral level. It is a fitting conclusion, though not as intense as the first two parts. All in all, Enemy Mine deserves its many accolades. By the way, read the book before you see the movie--the acting is good but they changed too many things for a fan to be satisfied.

Barry Longyear's story "Enemy Mine" is a gem of the finest kind.
By Thomas Eastler
"Enemy Mine," by Barry Longyear was first brought to my attention in about 1980 in Longyear's multiple award winning "Manifest Destiny" saga of mankind's highest adventure on the frontier of the far future. I could not put the book down once I began reading it because of the great and I mean great character development of the interaction between two protagonists, one an hermaphrodite reptilian alien fighter pilot for the exotic home alien planet, Draco, and the other a United States of Earth fighter pilot battling the alien on the planet Fyrine IV, near the Draconian's parent planet. I know that this sounds like a far reach for a Hugo, Nebula, and John. W. Campbell Award winning author, but far from it. Enemy mine was so well written and so beautifully developed that it was made into a movie produced by Wolfgang Petersen starring Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett, Jr. in 1985. The movie was never heavily advertised and thus only a small fraction of potential viewers were ever aware that it even existed. The story itself was a gem, and as often happens the video version of the book was not as well developed as the original book itself. None-the-less, Louis Gossett, Jr., and Dennis Quaid portrayed the original characters in excellent fashion, and they did the book great justice. I was so very lucky to have procured a CBS Fox Video VHS copy of the movie which I cherish, and which I often watch. To share my adulation for the story Enemy Mine, I highly recommend that you read it; you'll thank me for introducing it to you.
