Utterly hopeless trash-fiction
Review date: 2007-08-30 Rating: 4 out of 10
I always keep my expectations set very low when reading pulp, sometimes I am pleasantly surprised, but most of the time I am amazed that such crap ever makes it to press. Aliens: Original Sin is one of those occasions. It honestly one of the most boring and uneventful books I have ever sat down and read.
Even at a very short 250 pages, with not many words on a page, I found it very slow and without even a single memorable moment. No good action, forgettable characters and no sense of mystery or dread. The ONLY reason I am giving it 2/5 is that is stays true to the Alien lore and doesn't make up its own history like Dark Horse's Predator: Forever Midnight, which seems like Charles Dickens in comparison to this tripe.
Do not buy this book.

Great! All the answers to all the questions plus a continuation of the events after resurrection.........I don't think so!Its a case of too much Humans not enough Aliens, also I won't go to deep and ruin the story for others,but one egg and one facehugger does not equal several aliens!The whole afair just did not feel right I read the the book from cover to cover and did not feel that I wanted to read it again unlike the works of the Perrys who wrote some great Aliens fiction,which I have read loads of times,I hope Aliens DNA war that is published in April 06 puts the series back on track!:-)
