Don’t expect to be scared of the xenomorphs though they are used more as cannon fodder zerg-rush soldiers than creepy, menacing terrors that stalk from the shadows. While there is some repetition of phrases/concepts and the characters aren’t very complicated, it’s very fun. To anyone who likes Alien and Predator and even just action-sci-fi, you’d probably enjoy this series. Still am a bit – no Predator home world yet again!? At least the novel references a home world, so my complaints in my previous review about the illogical social and logistical idea regarding 'Yuatja being loners' are assuaged somewhat. Upon reflection my review of the second book was a bit harsh in that regard, but I really was rather frustrated. I guess I was hoping for some scenarios where humans and Predators converse and learn things about one another (more of a first contact situation). But, this trilogy was above all else an action-sci-fi-horror that isn’t meant to be an anthropological study. I wish we’d been able to spend more time with Isa Palant and the parts where she conversed with the Yuatja had been more drawn out. I didn’t say a perfect ending though – there are a lot of loose ends that I would have liked to have seen wrapped up and the last 30 pages go by very quickly.Īs a series, I’m still disappointed in the lack of real depth regarding the Yuatja culture. We finally get to see more Predators in action and there is the same military banter that I enjoyed throughout. As a series, I’m still disappointed in the lac A great conclusion to the trilogy – the novel was fast-paced, contained far more action than the second, and had a resolution and ending that was logical and not entirely predictable.
