Aliens: Bug Hunt by Jonathan Maberry, Heather Graham
3.0
Like most anthologies of short stories, I have to give it a 3 because I liked some of the stories better than the others.
All of the stories expand the Alien universe, always focusing on the Colonial Marines. Some do it with original characters and situations, and others expand on characters we know and love from the movies.
My final take on the anthology is that it can be a ton of fun if you don't take it too seriously. Just remember that some stories can be considered canon and others definitely can't. They're all quick, fun reads that I'd definitely recommend to any fans of the franchise. Personally, I hope they put out more Aliens: Bug Hunt anthologies once every few years since I'm sure there are plenty of writers who can take us on some interesting and fun journies through the Alien universe.
