Yet it's entertaining!  ;D


The Cruentus

Spoiler
The population thing is interesting, its not really enough people for long term genetic diversity. Inbreeding was going to be inevitable.

Also there may be just a tiny mistake here.  Only one-hundred and nineteen colonists, all ten years old or younger escape the wreck under instructions from Zachariah to never return, approach an egg and to hide if they ever see an Alien.

Lifeboats carrying one hundred and twelve colonists are ejected from the Nan-Shan before it crashes.  The EEVs land on the Southern Continent and Manroon Island to the north.

Year 1

Fifty-six survivors die during the first year, leaving a total human population on the planet of one hundred and seventy-five

Was it meant to be 190?.

Not sure?

119 + 112 - 56 = 175

Have I missed something?

Well if they started at 119 and then it dropped to 112, then they lose a further 50 odd people, it would not be 175.

EDIT

My bad, I just reread it, there was still colonists in the main ship while others took the life boats, Apologies.

The History of Ataegina.


Exclusive history provided by Scott Sigler for his novel Aliens - Phalanx.  HUGE SPOILERS - don't click if you want to read the book for yourself.

This is legit...maybe too legit.
That's why I don't quit.

Will we get more stories perhaps in Ataegina? Perhaps a prequel about the Rising would be interesting. Would love to see a comic book adaptation of the novel

I am not allowed to comment on that at this time, which is weird, because a bunch of other people are commenting about the thing that I am not allowed to comment on.

Yeah so I just read Phalanx. When I saw the cover with the medieval helmet I knew it was going to be cool and different. Just finished reading it last night and loved it. The concept of the 'runners' was really awesome and intense. The main characters were all well realised. When I was reading it I as like this would make a great live action Aliens story, if done well. Or even a game.

I'm sad it's over.

Anyone else like this one?

Oh yeah, a lot! One of my top 5 favourite Alien novels, and one of my 5 10 out of 10s. I can't recommend this book enough.
