Don't worry I will read it.
Not to mention the amount of lgbt characters they have, some of them are even protagonists in the franchise, such as in Cold Forge and Echo.
User was just a typical troll with nothing better to do. Honestly that comment should really be removed because its quite inappropriate.
Perhaps that's true, but I don't think Redneck Survivalist speaks for them.
Is this novel really so impure?
2. Alien has always been an anti-capitalist, pro-feminist, pretty liberal series

Opinions vary greatly on Prototype and Echo, the former had a great start with some uneven follow-through, and the latter has some really annoying side-character(s) but has some definite high points, but ultimately feels like a set-up for something which may or may not ever be followed up on. It's kind of hard to put either of them in the same class of either Phalanx or Cold Forge, but both books are good and worthy of a read; I would definitely like to read more of what Mira Grant and Tim Waggoner have to offer from further potential works in the universes though.
Thanks Nightmare Asylum!
I personally preferred The Cold Forge, myself, but also really loved Phalanx. These are really the only two Alien expanded universe novels I particularly care about, to be honest.
But there are a lot of folks here with pretty good taste in sci-fi so maybe I'll pick this book up on their praises. Saying that this book tops Cold Forge, says a lot.
I'm actually getting kind of excited about Phalanx though, given the praises of many people on here who I know are hard to please...
Four years to read a twenty odd page comic?
I am totally baffled at how good of a response this is getting. I read Aliens: Stalker and it took me about 4 years to finish. I was just not down with Conan meets Aliens vibe. Is this book along the same lines in terms of vibe?
also, ridgetop, you should read the cold forge, stat!
