Aliens: Steel Egg by John Shirley
3.0
Some outstanding action setpieces and some glorious alien carnage buuuut this is very much a b-movie story set in the Alien universe. It's still fun but lacks the emotional heft of the best Alien stories.
Minus 1 star for how INSANELY obvious it is that this book was written in the early 2000's...I mean a spaceship is called 'The Al Gore'.
