Alien: The Cold Forge by Alex White
4.0
I was already predisposed to liking this because I'm a ho for the Alien franchise, tbh. The audiobook was really solid, there was plenty of gruesome space murder. And my God, I've never hated a character more than Dorian, which I know is the point, but he was comically evil. I was almost annoyed he didn't suffer more than he did.
I also really liked that the main character in a survival story was a physically disabled woman who had to use her wits to overcome literally insane odds. These kind of stories are almost always about super fit and prepared people punching their problems away, but Blue had to be ruthless and cunning to live. Sometimes emphasis on the ruthless.
Also, #JusticeForMarcus, someone please help my android son.
