A gargantuan horseshoe-shaped ship appears over the mining planet Shānmén, unleashing a black rain of death that creates Xenomorph-like monsters worse than the darkest of nightmares.
As war breaks out among the colonies, a huge ship appears over the UPP mining planet Shānmén, releasing a horror that yields hideous transformations. Rescue is too far away, and the colonists’ only hope appears in the form of the vessel Righteous Fury. It carries the Jackals—an elite mix of former Colonial Marines and Royal Marines. Led by Zula Hendricks, the Jackals seek to rescue the few survivors from the depths of the planet, but have they arrived on time?

It does build on a lot of lore from the films (including the prequels) as well as the Dark Horse comics, so if you are unfamiliar with the extended lore, you’ll need to google who some characters are to get the most enjoyment out of the book.
A strong furthering of the Alien story

Other than that, the narrator did a good job.
There was great insight into the synthetic human mind who can feel emotions and the reactions from both genetic humans, other synthetics and AIs to her manner and even her existence. It also demonstrated the emotional links between bio humans and synthetics. Further, there is a character that straddles the line of both - a human within an electronic shell.
This take on the Alien story illustrated the possibilities of using the aliens as a bio weapon. It is also the first book that fully explores the way the aliens incorporate the DNA of their hosts. I am so impressed with the author’s ability to create various alien species and then alter them into hybrid aliens.
There were various “main characters”. One of the co-matriarchs was possibly my favorite of all. In this novel, the concept of family illustrates the way we used to live - with marriages, adoptions, etc. I wasn’t thrilled with the fact that 2 of the marriages were between 2 women each. Don’t we have enough “Woke” examples already? I mean, really - look at the statistics. Even with the current fad of blended sexualities, the percentage of true lesbian partnerships in the human species isn’t that large to account for having two gay couples in nearly every new book that comes out. I went through a period of time in the 1970s-80’s when it was also a fad, and the number of women who stayed involved with other weren’t that many, even among women who were “PC”. My parents had friends who were gay, and I can only think of 4 people who were. This includes a man and woman who were married. My parents had lots of friends of all kinds, most of them were involved in the medical profession. Such a talented writer shouldn’t feel the necessity to cater to this fad in order to sell books. I know Stephen King did, which is a shame. That said, I appreciate the racial and ethnic blend of all of the characters. I really hope this author writes a few more books within the Alien story line!
Great story, with every detail of the genre included.
