Aliens Bishop

[Slutty Badger]

""Uuhhhhhhhhhhh." She threw her head back. "UUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.""

Sounds like everyone who's ever read this.

[Still Collating...]

"When [Su Wong] was young, she'd read a banned book called Animal Farm. It was a warning about allowing socialist ideology to fail, when leaders forgot their place as the vanguard of the proletariat, as the first among equals. At the end of the novel, the socialist leadership - the pigs - dressed like the capitalists - the humans. Eating their fine food, sitting in comfortable chairs, drinking their expensive liquors.

Well, Captain Zhang looked like a pig, sitting there in his expensive chair, sipping his whisky, reading his datapad."

OMG WRITING!

Wow, again, I know of multiple fan fictions that're better than this. Has Titan gotten cheap and don't want to hire more competent writers anymore?

"Fan fiction" just about sums up this tripe. No - BAD fan fiction.

It's even more f**ked because I know for a fact that there's passionate people with mostly good taste who have at least some level of influence on the EU stuff, but I guess they don't bother with wasteful expenditure like Editors who clock in hours on story structure or consultants.

I think this one hurts a little more because it is a proper sequel to Alien 3 with known characters, ships and locations.

Exactly. Yes, Colony War is beyond shit, but at least it didn't soil existing, beloved characters (Amanda Ripley is mentioned, but that's really the extent). This, on the other hand, drags Bishop and Morse through the mud.

Seriously, the Morse-and-ice cream thing... I can't believe they did that.

Having not subjected myself to the novel yet, I must say these comments have me roaring

[Wweyland]

Anyone who liked the book or have good things to say?

I haven't read any Alien stuff since Infiltrator. I will inevitably get to this - but it won't be anytime soon.

You should start with Colony War.  I hear it's excellent.

[SM]

I too have heard this and it is currently on top of my list.

No.

Were they doing Apone next or did I hallucinate?

His relatives are in this one.

His relatives are in this one.

Specifically, his brother Marcel. Their mother also appears in a photograph.
