The ship eventually brings them to a planet that has a large military research installation which is being run by an insane general experimenting on creating a trained Alien army. Billie and Wilks are on a one way trip on a pre-programmed ship and they have no real idea where it is taking them, they don't care much, because as long as they're leaving the infested Earth, that's fine by them.
However, now that I'm diving into my re-reading and am reading the comics right before I read this book, I didn't really like this one as much this time around.įor those who have not read the original comics, this picks up where the prior novel, Aliens: Earth Hive leaves off. I remember quite liking this when I was in middle school, but I was also entirely unaware that these were based on the original comic book series. A fun, sci-fi adventure in a familiar universe is what these books offer and I've enjoyed the ride so far. Not every book needs to be something cerebral and thought-provoking with Earth shattering revelations. They aren't pretending to be "grand literature" and that's fine. Third, these books are entertaining reads that have kept my interest in reading more. I found these first two books more appealing than the continuing films. It's obvious that Wilks and Billie are replacements for Hicks and Newt. Second, these books are - so far, anyway - a continuation of the ALIEN movie franchise picking up after ALIENS and ignoring the 3rd and 4th films.
If I could give partial scores it would most likely be 3.5 or 3.75 stars I thought it was more fair to round up. I can explain and I will.įirst, Goodreads only has whole star ratings for individual reviews. I'm sure that the 4 star rating is going to catch the eye of some people and make them question the reasoning behind such a rating.
