War will always find a man like you.
This ALIEN story begins where most end: with a xenomorph loose on a damaged spaceship hurtling through space. Once a highly decorated marine, Chris Temple, a recently widowed single father to two young daughters, Jane, 11, and Emma, 8, is onboard. Despite his particular set of skills, Chris doesn’t get involved in the fight with the alien, instead focusing on keeping his children safe as the ship comes in for a crash landing.
The family land safely on an idyllic outpost planet, where Chris is told that the ship has been destroyed beyond recognition and nothing could have survived the crash. That’s only the first lie. Chris and his daughters love their new life, but something doesn’t feel right. Chris is a paranoid type, but just because he’s paranoid, doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
There are nasty surprises in store as Chris investigates the web of lies and conspiracies. After leaving a ruined Earth, it seems Chris and his daughters have crash-landed on a planet on the verge of all-out civil war. Chris will have to call on the battle skills he never wanted to use again in order to protect his daughters, deal with violence-hungry marines, and battle the xenomorph that’s killing people regardless of which side of the civil war they’re on.

Also, this Aliens expert that Titan supposedly has (mentioned in the author's notes) should assign somebody to make sure the authors know what a pulse rifle is in-universe. It's not a ray gun. just listen to the Larry Correia contribution to Bug Hunt so you don't sound clueless about an iconic element of the universe. The same thing pops up in the excellent River of Pain and a few other novels.
Not really an Alien novel

This is an aliens novel- so it is never a waste of time tho- some will love it. Some will lament finding yet another book not as original as Phalanx! Lol

The characters were enjoyable enough but I had a hard time suspending belief about far too many aspects of Chris Temple's inner thoughts and treatment of his daughters. That said, the kids were the most believable kids I've read in an aliens book, not that there are many.
I ended up feeling like the intrigue took too long to evolve and far too much time was spent showing how perfect everything in the settlement was. Creating suspicion earlier may have added to the intensity when so little excitement was happening.
Likewise, the introduction of the USM crew was far too lacking in drama and focused on how good things were. It was supposed to build a connection with the characters but felt too forced.
Ultimately, the story was solid and I felt like I needed to let this thing develop to see where it was going but I wasn't compelled I could have put it down and walked away and I was curious where this Bever Cleaver colony was going to end up. The near lack of Xenonorph activity in the book really made me question if I was actually listening to an aliens story. While the story was solid, it lacked the punch it needed, and felt like it was written for a PG audience, like a family friendly Disney adaptation of Aliens.
Slow burn but worth it
