About this ebook

A gargantuan, horseshoe-shaped ship appears over the mining planet Shānmén, unleashing a black rain of death that creates Xenomorph-like monsters worse than the darkest of nightmares.

As war breaks out among the colonies, a huge ship appears over the UPP mining planet Shānmén, unleashing a black rain of death that yields hideous transformations. Rescue is too far away, and the colonists’ only hope appears in the form of the vessel Righteous Fury. It carries the Jackals—an elite mix of former Colonial Marines and Royal Marines. Led by Zula Hendricks, the Jackals seek to rescue the few survivors from the depths of the planet, but have they arrived time?

BONUS MATERIAL: Exclusive to this book, a new RPG scenario from Free League, publishers of the award-winning Alien role-playing game.

Ratings and reviews

Cover art and synopsis is misleading. Zula plays a VERY minor role and doesn't even pick up a gun. The scene on the cover never happens. The story isn't about her at all. She's mentioned in only a few pages. You also need to read several previous Aliens novels to understand one of the new characters introduced in this book, and she plays a fairly large role, so be advised if you haven't been keeping up with the past few books.

minus all the inclusive garbage you shoved in this book it's an okay read. definitely recommend out of the shadows or river of pain over this.
