Finished Aliens DNA War...wtf did I just read!? Hands down this was the worst alien book I've read so far. The characters are beyond horrible (Rory and Bonnies conversations were quite cringe worthy) from how they acted to talking was just plain hard to read.
I don't mind that the author tried something different with the aliens and facehuggers, but I can't stand behind the rolling or flying aspect.
The PPs were interesting until they weren't. Ok, so they hunt and kill anything on the planet that isn't native. So, in order to get by two of these machines from killing his group, the main character throws alien body parts at the PPs in order for them to start firing at each other, ultimately destroying them!? The things cost millions of dollars and are supposed to be top of the line, yet they get a little alien dna on them and they go stupid? You'd think with the amount of traveling and destruction, there'd be some dna spray that'd hit the machine at some point...
The big reveal wasn't that all surprising and I'm not sure why the scientists just told them the real reason why the aliens are acting different, it wasn't top secret material or anything.
Plus there's a random bat type creature named buttercup who belongs to the most annoying character I've read for this series named Bonnie.
The scene where they find the huts in the beginning and the stealth suits they wore, were the only cool things about it...
I had a really hard time with this one and barely made it through...I might take a break after this before moving onto Cauldron.
