verkisto's review
2.0
This is about what you should expect an Aliens book to be: xenomorphs; a distress call; a retrieval team; and a tense showdown between humans and aliens. There are a few elements that make this distinct (the titular berserker the most prominent of them), but for the most part, it's not trying to do anything too original with the franchise. This might be a good thing, though, since when authors DO try to do something original, it comes across as ludicrous and unbelievable (Music of the Spears, I'm looking in your direction).
This is another adaptation of a comic book, and I understand it's the last of those in this series of Aliens books. I'm looking forward to reading some original original stories, and seeing what different authors can do with it. Since the newer Aliens books are pretty good, I'm holding out hope that the next six will be better than the first nine.
