Product Description:
Serial killers come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is particularly puzzling.There's no pattern to the mutilated bodies that have been showing up in Albuquerque: both sexes, all races, ages, ethnic groups. There is no evidence of rape or ritual. Only one thing connects the victims. They were the victims of a natural disaster. One of the most unnatural natural disasters imaginable, leading to a most painful, most certain and most hideous death....
Mulder and Scully, FBI: the agency maverick and the female agent assigned to keep him in line. Their job: investigate the eerie unsolved mysteries the Bureau wants handled quietly, but quickly, before the public finds out what's really out there. And panics. The cases filed under "X."

I've had this book for years, having purchased it back during the series run. Now that I've finally read it some 10 years later, I am certain I would have enjoyed it more back in 1995.
Others have pointed out that the writing is ho-hum at best, with awkward turns of phrase and more than a few typos (not the author's fault). There are a few moments of solid Mulder/Scully interaction, and the idea of the whirlwind itself is interesting.

Second of the same.
The next X-Files tie-in is basically the same as the first, in terms of quality, that is, not very good.
Also another strange series of killing to investigate for the FBI duo, only with some boring even for Mulder odd occurrences along the way. These were definitely disappointing.
2.5 out of 5

This book is a slight improvement (in some areas) over Goblins. The dialogue was good, but the plot was not quite up to par. Parts were confusing, but the characters were well developed. Not bad, but not five stars.

Whirlwind is the second TV tie-in novel based on The X-Files. One can't help but compare this to the first novel, Goblins, as both books were written by Charles Grant. While Whirlwind seems more readable than Goblins, in the end Grant once again comes up a little short. His characterizations of Mulder and Scully saw improvement in this novel, but there were still bits of dialogue here and there that just didn't sound like something the agents would say. A bigger problem is found in the characterization ... Read More

Whirlwind is a definite page turner. I just read it for the 3rd time! I've been hooked on the X-Files TV series for years; After reading Whirlwind, I now want to read every other X-Files book as well. Charles Grant portrayed both the chemistry between Mulder and Scully as well as the mystery of the Konochine tribe.
