A dramatic new Alien novel, as Weyland-Yutani seeks to recover from the failure of Hadley's Hope, and successfully weaponize the Xenomorphs.With the failure of Hadley's Hope, Weyland-Yutani has suffered a devastating setback--the loss of the Aliens they aggressively sought to exploit. Yet there's a reason the Company has risen to the top of the food chain. True to form, they have a redundancy already in place... the facility known as The Cold Forge.Remote station RB-232 has become their greatest asset in weaponizing the Xenomorphs. However, when Dorian Sudler is sent to RB-232 to assess their progress, he discovers that there's a spy aboard--someone who doesn't necessarily act in the company's best interests. For Dorian, this is the most unforgivable of sins. When found, the perpetrator will be eliminated with extreme prejudice. If unmasked, though, this person may be forced to destroy the entire station... and everyone on board. That is, if the Xenomorphs don't do the job first...

"I read the very first "Alien" book years ago & it was just as intense & scary as the movie. So I thought I would give this book a try...<br/><br/>It was really hard for me to get into the first quarter of the book. I was having a hard time imagining it all in my head & just couldn't follow it. The narrator was "over the top" melodramatic which highly annoyed me. Once I could get past the narration & stop trying to imagine every single aspect of the story & what it should look like, I started to enjoy the book more.<br/><br/>There were no jump scares, it was pretty much what you expected from an "Alien" book. There were no characters, male or female that had any saving graces that made you love them, understand them or cheer them on to victory. The whole group of people on this ship were a pretty shallow, selfish, untrustworthy bunch, so it was hard to feel sorry for any of them as they fought to save themselves from the evil aliens.<br/><br/>The book wasn't bad but it wasn't good either, just mediocre with a twist of lemon."

"This is a reluctant yes for me. There’s a really interesting protagonist and, this book takes a break from predictable “colonial marines” viewpoint. I did enjoy it way more than lost all of the other fan fictions. But. There’s really no one to root for. The main character isn’t all that likeable since shes motivated by petsinal goals (mostly)."
