I'm on page 300 currently. Got another 120 or so left to go. I'm starting to lose interest, unfortunately. While it started strong with the Jenette Vasquez background, it still continues to feel nothing like Aliens. There's random chapters of some research related to the Aliens interspersed throughout the book to remind readers, it is an Alien book, but it just continues to feel so contemporary. There's no twist on things like mobiles or tablets or smart watches.
There's some interesting stuff with the Aliens, but it's also getting silly.
Spoiler
I've been enjoying the things like developing bacteria weapons against the Aliens. I thought it might have been a callback to Labyrinth when it was first brought up, but I think it's just going to be the accelerant now.
But we're doing things like mutating little parasites into little Xenosite and I'm getting images of Spaceballs.
And I'm starting to see some more and more dialogue that's just not feeling very natural.

Looks like the book is now available on Audible now.
