Alien: The Cold Forge - Titan Books

[Ultramorph]

What was the Seegson reference in Defiance? I don't recall that one off the top of my head.

[SM]

LV-44-40 was a Seegson station.

[Xenomrph]

They also got a mention in the Out of the Shadows audio drama (but not the original novel).

That was used to explain why Ash sounded different, if I remember right - it was his voice coming out of a Seegson synthesizer.

[HybridNewborn]

Seegson also gets a brief mention in the beginning of the River of Pain adaption, again in the context of tech on board Ripley's lifeboat.

Yeah, that's right. It's how they justified Ash having a voice role when he only communicated by text in the book. I think Seegsson also had a reference in the River of Pain audio drama too? I think the Grant Corporation carried through a little in the old EU but I'm loving that Seegson is being referenced more often.

[Perfect-Organism]

Just two chapters in.  I find it has a bit of a Saturn 3 feel with the creepy bad guy arriving on a space station.  Pretty good so far...

Am I crazy in thinking that Daniel Grant was based on Donald Trump?

[SM]

Daniel Grant was capable of displaying courage and compassion though.

[Local Trouble]

Does this novel get the SM seal of approval?

[SM]

f**k yes.

[Local Trouble]

Is it standalone or part of a series?

[SM]

Standalone.

[Local Trouble]

Any nitpicks?

[SM]

There was one I sent to Fox some time ago, but it was very, very minor relating to interstellar travel times and distances.  Not sure if they bothered to correct it.

[HybridNewborn]

In regards to where the eggs come from, I'm just taking the events of the narrative parts of the Colonial Marines Technical Manual into consideration...
