1 post | 1 read
A direct sequel to Aliens and Alien 3Weyland-Yutani, the Colonial Marines, and Bishops creator all pursue the android for the deadly Xenomorph data contained in his brain. Written by T. R. Napper, author of the acclaimed 36 Streets, whose explosive work explores the artificial intelligence and what it is to be human. Do me a favor. Disconnect me. I could be reworked, but Ill never be top of the line again. Id rather be nothing. Lance Bishop, model 341-B, on Fiorina 161 The USCSS Patna has been found. Although the synthetic Bishop asked to be shut down forever, his creator has other plans. Michael Bishop seeks the Xenomorph knowledge stored in the androids mind, and brings Bishop back to lifebut for what reason? No longer an employee of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, Michael tells his creation that he seeks to advance medical research for the benefit of humanity. Yet where does he get the resources needed to advance his work, and with whom do his new allegiances lie? The USCSS Patna is pursued by Colonial Marines Captain Marcel Apone, commander of the Il Conde and younger brother of Master Sergeant Alexander Apone, one of the casualties of the doomed mission to LV-426. Also on his trail are the Dog Catchers, commandos employed by Weyland-Yutani. There are many who would profit from Lance Bishops intimate knowledge of the deadliest creatures in the galaxy.

Mehso-so

20/100 I always enjoy another adventure in the world of the xenomorphs, but this one seemed kind of pointless. Picking up after the Aliens 3 movie, Bishop's creator salvaged his body from the prison planet to gain access to the valuable information in his head about the xenomorphs. The Chinese, the Colonial Marines and the Weyland-Yutani corporation are also chasing the same data. Of course a bunch of aliens get loose and theres plenty ⬇️

RamsFan1963 of fighting with the Colonial Marines and the Chinese soldiers. I liked the rotating POVs of all the different factions, but too many characters were confusing when the fighting got hectic. I don't know how much his adds to the Aliens lore overall, but it kept my attention. 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 2d
MemoirsForMe Was Lance Henriksen one of the narrators? That would be so cool! I‘m a huge fan of the Alien movies but never found a decent novel. 1d
RamsFan1963 @MemoirsForMe Sadly, no Lance Henriksen. If you want a good Aliens book, there is an anthology called Aliens: Bug Hunt this I thought was pretty entertaining. If you ever wondered what happened to the slime bag Burke after Aliens, you'll want to read this. 15h
MemoirsForMe Oh yes, I‘d love to see the tables turn on that snake Burke. Thanks for the rec! 10h
