Aliens: Phalanx by Scott Sigler
5.0
Scott Sigler is one of my favourite sci fi and horror authors, so he was the perfect fit to tell this story. And I LOVED IT. Everything you could ever want from an Alien story was in here. Sigler's clear love for the series shows, and the new world he creates adds a unique twist to the franchise.
Every character was spectacular. Aliyah is one of the most powerful and motivated female characters in the franchise, a resourceful warrior who refuses to give up despite impossible circumstances. It took me a while to warm up to Creen, but Brandun was by far my favourite with his big, honest heart.
There was plenty of action and adventure and tense moments, and nearly every creature and entity from the Alien series made an appearance. Plenty of scenes filled me with dread, particularly when the facehuggers arrived. I got literal chills and truly felt grossed out.
I had high expectations, and Sigler knocked it out of the park. Anyone who is a fan of the Aliens franchise will enjoy this fresh take on the lore, and if sci fi horror is something you enjoy, this is an absolute must have. I was addicted to it!
