Reviews with content warning for Violence - Alien: Prototype

I really enjoyed the book, we were introduced to characters throughout the book that is woven into the adventure. The introduction was really intriguing and tense straight from the start, where we were not introduced to the main character interestingly however as we progress through the book, the different perspectives are quite useful to fully immerse ourselves in the story. The sense of diversity was vast with people of different ethnicities within the foreign planet. I found it intriguing to sometimes have the perspective of the Necromorph itself presenting its "thoughts" and "feelings" as it drove itself to kill. Whenever there were deaths, they were described gruesomely but also in a way that made it feel real. I do, however, believe that whenever a character DID die the way the author writes their final moments became repetitive with the last lines ending with "and then there was darkness" which as you read the same line again makes the death feel a little insignificant which brought you ought of the tension. There were also times when the story became predictable with lines such as "they would be gone before then unless something bad was to happen". It would have been better if some lines had been taken out to keep the tension concise.
The ending was well done and left me excited for what might come next...
