Do you have a list of complaints compiled yet?
Not all in one place, my posts in this thread will have to do.
Speaking of, I don't think I've actually finished my page-by-page analysis I've been posting in this thread. I've finished the book, but I think my PC died before I could finish posting about the last chunk of the book.
To go back to what I'd said earlier in the thread, it's just a really baffling book. The production values are on-point from a visual standpoint (although the WY Archive beats it out in terms of original artwork) and the AR gimmick is well executed, but the book is so riddled with easily-fixed minor errors that it's as if there was no editor whatsoever. It's got minor sparks of brilliance and clever references to obscure stuff, but the mistakes make it read like a work of fan-fiction. It's got a ton of explicit references to 'Aliens: Colonial Marines', as if the book was originally meant as a tie-in to that game, but it got released in 2017 and has a chapter about Alien Covenant.
I certainly don't regret buying it - it's one of the most fascinating pieces of Alien tie-in stuff in a long time just because it's such an oddity.
