So I caved, ordered a signed copy and it arrived today. A few chapters in. As if it wasn't obvious enough already from Cold Forge, the author really gets Alien.

[TheBATMAN]

Agreed. Im around 100 pages in and it's all very intriguing so far.

It feels so authentic.

So much I wanna talk about with everyone.

Maybe a spoiler thread for those who've finished?

How does it compare to TCF?

How does it compare to TCF?

Very different from TCF but still strong character development and interesting/complex characters.

I loved it right off the bat; but with time, after digesting everything that happened some more, I find myself loving it more. Honestly I'm not sure which I liked better, TCF or into charybdis.

I'm about 150 pages into this so far and very into it.

EDIT: Make that 200 pages, and though I'm not nearly at the halfway mark yet, I am far enough in to say that this is absolutely living up to the standard that Alex White had set with The Cold Forge.

Page 240... Harsh! 😅

Agreed.  420 pages in and not wanting to get to the end but really excited for the resolutions

[Xenomrph]

I want to get this but I much prefer getting paperbacks.

[HuDaFuK]

About two-thirds of the way through and people are spot on saying it's a very different beast to Cold Forge. In every way that felt like something of a revelation in this series, in a lot of ways this recalls the oldschool Alien books... but combined with the excellent prose and character work of White's previous book. It's great.

This is very spoiler but for anyone who's past the halfway point:

Spoiler

HOLY SHIT I DID NOT SEE SHY'S DEATH COMING!
