Alien: Sea of Sorrows by James A. Moore
4.0

As a Galvestonian, I really appreciate that this book is about a polluted wasteland full of aliens that is called New Galveston!

Also, it's a hoot and a half. It's got everything I could possibly want from anything alien-related. The formula isn't hard: have there be some aliens, have there be some colonial marines, and actually that is everything on the list. Cats are a bonus, but Jonesy appears in the other two of these as a fully-voiced character so I won't be too greedy.

If you're looking for a fun and genuinely quite good story, go for the first one of these. If you're looking for a fun and interesting look at what happened to Newt's family, get the third one. If you want a fun time with some super silly psychic links to aliens and colonial marine action, this is the one. I loved all three and I really hope there will be more.
