Aliens: Vasquez by V. Castro
4.0
This was completely not at all what I was expecting. I am not sure what I expected but I certainly didn't think I would get something so culturally rich, filled with dark machinations and a kick-ass Aliens sequence across the finale of the novel to appeal to my love for the Aliens movie.
Perhaps I should have known there would be Weyland-Yutani shenanigans (that's a light way of putting it) going on in the background but I more so expected there to be a lot more of the Marine bad assery, death and blood.
I think overall I'm just glad this novel really broke down my expectations of what an Aliens novel can be and I hope in the future this author or others write stories like this one that come with action but also substance.
