So I'm a couple of chapters in and mercifully a number of character names have been changed from the outline.
But that 223 thing is an absolute howler...
Did the outline you read include
Spoiler
Church?
I kept trying to figure out which character he was supposed to be originally.

Every character bar two in the outline was named after a cast or key crew member of Aliens or Alien3. And there was a LOT of characters. So far there's only Fairbank, Matthews and Rawlings. There's a character called Cruz (Ross originally) but I don't think it's a nod to Raymond Cruz.
God, the ones that made it in were distracting enough.
Just finished reading it. In short, I thought it was ok. I enjoyed it just a bit more than Stalking Shadows or Alien: Isolation, but Titan is still suffering the video game novel curse IMHO. Lots of interesting little things in there that didn't really make it into a complete or satisfying story IMHO. None of the characters really clicked with me. Cruz was kinda interesting by the end, but Hoenikker just bored the crap out of me. Then when Cruz called him a fool and idiot, I was like "yep."
I'm trying to decide between a 5 or a 6. But I'll make my mind up when I do a full review.
