- Yesterday at 12:41:20 PMI've just realised something after reading the review (good work BTW, has made me feel justified in not getting it).
I've been reading 3WExit as three-wexit. But the 3 is supposed to be a B isn't it? It's Bwexit. Like how Harry Enfield's Tory Boy would pronounce brexit.
Damn. Just... Damn.

- Yesterday at 12:34:30 PMI'm not a huge fan of either, but they both had more redeeming factors and general entertainment value than I found in Colony War.

It's always a pleasure reading your reviews although I'd argue that this novel wasn't as much of a let down as the Isolation novelization or Covenant: Origins. So I'd rank it above those two books from Titan but nonetheless the rest of your criticisms were completely valid.
I actually agree that I find those two more offensive, although in qualitative terms, Colony War's probably the worst one for me.

Publishers, writers and editors use that site a LOT.
If you want your opinion known outside of the alien fanbase...

- Yesterday at 08:36:41 AMI'm about six or seven chapters in and I'm honestly debating whether I'll finish it.
And I've never not finished an Alien novel.

- May 22, 2022, 04:45:57 AMI'll probably start this one tomorrow. It seems like it may be kinda trashy going by the handful of reviews I've glanced at, but I also know my history of liking EU material nobody else likes.

Kinda hoping / presuming Alex White will return and pen a third, he seems to be able to push things forward...

- May 16, 2022, 04:28:20 PMQuote from: Corporal Hicks on May 16, 2022, 09:47:54 AMI've still not decided on whether or not to do a podcast review on this. I'm feeling a severe lack of enthusiasm at the minute.
Podcast, but I recommend drinking heavily first. Let the F-bombs flow.
