Alien: Into Charybdis by Alex White

5.0

Phenomenal read that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Although this story may not quite fit into what some call the canonical Alien world, it fits in nicely with the later films (like Prometheus) and even brings some new things into the universe. Another *newish* addition to the Alien universe was what Alex White could uniquely bring to the table (being not your typical Cis-white male sci-fi writer). White was able to throw out some of the old tropes that sci-fi sometimes relies on to make characters “feel real” (I.e weak female characters, etc.), made the read feel refreshing in a way. This book got me excited about reading again and really made me want to get deeper into other SciFi stories and worlds.
