I loved it. Some of the gender politics frustrated me and I’m not sure if I loved the ending but otherwise a lot of fun and one hell of an adventure. The alien books continue to amaze me. A great concept and the imagery will stay with me for a long time.

This was a great read if you like the Alien franchise. I love that it didn't have a storyline with marines and modern warfare. The main characters were flawed but likeable, and you were definitely rooting for them.
I did find that the human villains were a little basic, but I also did find their actions believable. Sometimes the dialogue felt a bit repetitive, but it was also realistic.
The action scenes were GREAT, and the descriptions pulled me in and kept me there (I pretty much finished the book in a day). I think this was just a stand-alone, but I would read more Alien books in this world for sure.

Bronze age tactics vs Aliens, you say?
Any fan of the aliens franchise and/or the FDO should find plenty of acidic blood spilled to satiate their appetite.

Overall a really fascinating take on the aliens franchise.
There were, however, several grammatical mistakes, a closing speech mark missing, and one of the main characters name was misspelt once.

I have pre-ordered this on Kindle and also on hardcover, because it’s Scott!
Finished listening to the amazing Bronson Pinchot read the more amazing Scott Sigler on our way to Vegas (driving because flying is a little iffy in the world of COVID). And, this is the second Aliens book I have read (first was Bug Hunt), and wow! Loved it on many levels. Great characters with great world building.
