Critical response
Alten's debut novel, MEG: A Novel of Deep Terror was named a TOP SELECTION by the Young Adult Library Services Association. http://www.ala.org/yalsa/booklistsawards/booklists/quickpicks/1998quickpicks Allen Foster of ENTERTAINING OPTIONS states, "One of the components that makes Steve’s work stand out is his mind-boggling diligence when it comes to research. Alten unearths countless facts, data, and historical footnotes, and manages to embed them all in a fantastic context so they work together to support an epic tale. He mingles fact with fiction to create stories he calls “faction.” https://entertaining-options.com/2017/08/03/undisclosed-a-qa-with-best-selling-author-steve-alten/ Others have praised his character development, research and story-telling. Reviewer Steve Donoghue's review says Alten has written "the Moby Dick of giant killer shark novels."
Reviewer Jason Frost said of Alten's Grim Reaper: End of Days, "This will not be one of the best books you will read this year. This will be one of the best books you will read, period." Mystery Book Review said of The Loch, "The blending of factual and fictional material as crafted by Alten for the book is both fascinating and credible." Paul Craig Roberts, former Wall Street Journal editor, said of Alten's thriller, The Shell Game, "Alten’s book is a first-class thriller set in the real world of today." George Noory called Alten's thriller, The LOCH "Riveting" while the Washington Daily News stated, "Steve Alten combines meticulous research with riveting storytelling to craft a new genre--the historical science fiction thriller." https://www.amazon.com/Loch-Steve-Alten/dp/076536302X/ref=pd_sim_14_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=076536302X&pd_rd_r=8628M10EJ44Z3D528E3X&pd_rd_w=NEDOy&pd_rd_wg=ehrMn&psc=1&refRID=8628M10EJ44Z3D528E3X
Alten's comedic novel, Dog Training the American Way (written under the pen name L.A. Knight) was given a positive review by Kirkus Reviews, which described "the prose [as flowing] like a jocular babbling brook" and the plot as compelling: "Incident by unlikely incident, we are pulled deeper into their lives until it is their fates (not merely their quips) that keep us turning the pages." Chick Lit Central, a top chick-lit blog, states, "Dog Training the American Male made me laugh...hard. Conversations between various characters, like Nancy’s sister’s bodybuilding girlfriend, or Jacob’s gynecologist brother, the quips and one-liners were hilarious, and very real." http://www.chicklitcentral.com/2017/02/book-review-dog-training-american-male.html
Open Book Muse loved Alten's summer 2017 UFO conspiracy thriller, UNDISCLOSED, stating "UNDISCLOSED promises to keep you tuned-in - your mind on-fire." https://www.openbookmuse.com/single-post/2017/08/07/UNDISCLOSED-UNACKNOWLEDGED1 NY Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry said, "I couldn't put this one down." https://www.amazon.com/Undisclosed-Steve-Alten/dp/1943957053/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1490992691&sr=1-1&keywords=undisclosed+steve+alten Another reviewer states, "UNDISCLOSED is a story about greed, cover-ups, and an alien technology that could save the human race from extinction by its own hand." https://entertaining-options.com/2017/08/03/undisclosed-a-qa-with-best-selling-author-steve-alten/
