I went into this thinking the stories herein were relatively autonomous in-universe… a bit disappointed at first, but I came to really enjoy the adventures of Wilks and Billie. Overall a worthwhile father/daughter collab; however the former imbued it with an ill-fitted sexual motif, while the latter totally shirks canonically key details (namely the destructive power of alien blood as well as the toughness of their hides). Also, can we stop making android identities/abilities the twist of these things?!

The best of the Alien Omnibus books by far because it has characters that you actually connect with. The publisher slacked on the editing a little, but it is worth a read for any Alien fan.

A great trilogy of books. Had me hooked from beginning to end. I fell in love with the characters and rooted for them all the way to the end. I would recommend this book to any Alien fan.
