Quote from: Kradan on Mar 08, 2020, 12:31:10 PMSpoilerTbh, I find it's a bit convenient that on a random planet conquered by Aliens poisonous to them plant happens to grow. And even more so that discovery was made right when humanity was almost wiped out and right when there was a hero capable to lead people against xenomorphs and right when such weapon was most needed.[close]Nonetheless, I still enjoyed book a lot.

Cold Forge established that it was a mutagenic liquid that was injected into the host and then absorbed by the eosphagus/stomach, there is no chestburster until it starts growing in the chest cavity. The only thing that should have been regurgitated if anything, would be the black liquid.[close]Great interview, its cool he worked with Alex White on the book to a keep a sense continuity. I noticed the whole hook thing was taken from his previous work Dangerous Prey, nice touch.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Mar 09, 2020, 10:59:26 AMNo worries. No-one reported it so I assume you didn't spoil it for anyone.
Quote from: razeak on Mar 09, 2020, 06:45:53 PMI honestly wouldn't mind to see a follow up even if it didn't involve xenos. It's an interesting world.Also, I'm glad they shut down the over explaining of particular aspects or mysteries of the alien.
Quote from: HuDaFuK on Mar 11, 2020, 11:45:02 AMIt's taken a while to get going but I've just got to the first real interactions with Aliens and it's amazingly tense.Apparently to the point where it had me dreaming about being hunted by Aliens last night
