The book was really good. He tried a little new additions with the Predator, a collar weapon when placed around the neck of the victim causes the flesh to quickly vanish, leaving just the skeleton (didnt enjoy that too much) and the idea of a predator scratch carrying an unknown bacteria under it that infects a man with an alien disease (enjoyed this). The characters work well, the story is interesting, and the Predator was a well worn verteran of combat. Really phenomenal book.
