I’m torn about this one because it models itself after Aliens well, in that it’s an action sequence with too much bravado and not enough suspense. But the book itself is not good. The “romance” is just thrown in with no care or buildup, and there is only one good bit of horror in the entire thing. And they end up just moving past it. Most of the story is just politics and build up, then the real meat happens in a few pages. My saving grace is that there were a few lines that went particularly hard, but on one page I did mark every time a man called someone “the wh*re.” I’m not impressed, it’s pretty much what I expected to read.
