A review by sleepyboi2988
Aliens: Earth Hive by Steve Perry
4.0
Fair warning, I am quite a fan boi of Aliens and Predators as a whole. Even a "mediocre" Alien/Predator movie to critics I will most likely think is better than most other movies out at the time. Same line of thinking for me applies to the books. I'm a simple man, I love Aliens and I love Predator franchises, not saying they can do no wrong but I love them for what they are.
That said, my rating somewhat reflects this, as a whole the story is a 3 star affair if you are not in love with the franchise in my opinion it gets an extra star for the fact I love the franchise. Certainly a serviceable story, has some good nods to the movies without over doing it. Of particular interest for those into the franchise is the inclusion of the Engineers made famous by the 2 prequel films Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. This novel of course predating those movies by a few decades.
While being good for fans, I honestly don't think I would say to someone NOT into the franchise, oh yes this is a must read. There's definitely better books out there in the horror sci-fi genre if you aren't into Aliens. :)
