This is the first Alien's vs Predator novel. By a strange coincidence it is also the same story as the first Alien vs Predator graphic novel which I read some time back. It is a strange feeling reading a book and half remembering the comic at the same time. The plot is fairly standard. Aliens on an alien planet which the human race has chosen as a cattle-like ranching planet.
Aliens kill lots.
Predators kill lots. Honour is won with dying breaths. I can't really fault this novel without stating what it is. It is a novelisation of a graphic novel. I am sorry to say but almost no graphic novel that I have read is worthy of a whole book of text.
