Summary: The best in the ALIENS series
Review: Alien: Earth Hive, the first in a thrilling series of sci-fi action books, is incredibly fast-paced and intelligent. The aliens in this book are perfect movie aliens, fearsome, gruesome, and acid-blooded killers. The charcters are mostly well done, although the murderous villain of the book seemes overly evil, going as far as to killing his family to protect top-secret information. I recommend this book to someone who wants a fast paced, totally unrealistic, yet intelligent book...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book is a great Sci-Fi thriller!
Review: Aliens Earth Hive is exciting, humorous and scary all in one book. The Aliens have skin the color of black glass and their teeth are as hard as diamonds. Their blood is acid so when you kill one its blood burns right through you. Aliens was never boring to read. Some parts of it made me laugh. This book was well written, and it made me want to read book 2 right away. I recommend this book to fans of sci-fi books.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Quite better than expected...
Review: Aliens: Earth Hive was enjoyable to read and I like how each of the character's were developed through their dialogue and all. That's fine for some characters but hard-core military dudes such as I would be let down and how Perry handled the verbal situation for marines. The jokes were a bit childish and very un-marine like. I didn't feel anything that made me believe they are the finest of the Corps unlike the ones portrayed in the movie, Aliens. That's probably the only downside to the book. Other than that, it's a pretty good spinoff of the Alien Trilogy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ACTION PACKED, ENTERTAINING, SOMETIMES CONFUSING
Review: Aliens:Earth Hive is just the first of 2 other aliens books that follows the action-packed, entertaining adventure with Wilks, Billie, and Bueller. Other characters are in at times,but these are basically the main ones. The bottom line: THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT! Steve Perry does a wonderful job detailing all the nooks and crannys of every battle scene. The sex factor is not grossout embarrasing but is very tasteful and beautifully written. The action is gory, and the comedy is in there at some times, but is still good when it is. I was entertained from beginning to end. The only problem i have with this is that it can get alittle confusing sometimes. Like when the settings are kind of contradictive. In other words, somtimes you'll be saying, "Wait! I thought they were inside! Not outside!" or something of the such, making you have to switch focus in the middle of a paragraph. It's rare, but it happens. It's probably the way it's worded. Don't let this stop you from buying it though. THIS BOOK ROCKS!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great way to start the alien novels
Review: As my title implies, this should be the first book you read in the alien series. Earth Hive sets the stage for the two books that dirrectly follow it, Nightmare Asylum and the Female War, as well as every other alien book written by the other authors. In this book, explanation of how the Earth became completely overrun by the xenos is given. Remember the creature who became victom to the aliens in the first movie? The big elephant like creature in the chair abord the derelict spacecraft. Well this book goes into what he is and how their kind plays into this story. This is a great book, and should be read before any of the other alien books in my opinion.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Surprisingly good
Review: Earth Hive, the beginning of Steve Perry's Aliens saga, is a surprisingly action packed read that carries the themes from the first two Alien films very nicely. The story centers around two survivors from a Xenomorph onslaught, Wilks and Billie (as one reviewer previously stated, this was originally based on further adventures of Hicks and Newt from Aliens, but when both characters were killed off in the Alien 3 film, Perry was forced to make some changes) and both are re-united as The Company once again attempts to bring the life form to Earth to use as a weapon. The action is nicely paced, but sometimes Perry's storytelling becomes uneven and blurred as if he is trying to keep a certain pace with himself. Other than that Earth Hive is a great read for fans of the Alien films and is full of shocks and plenty of surprises (including a twist climatic ending) that would lead into the next books in the series; Nightmare Asylum and Female War.

Summary: The Xeno-Decorum Guide
Review: How could you make the Earth, a boring ball of green and blue, look a bit better? By bringing a Queen to Earth and then letting her get loose, that's how!
This interesting novel adaptation delves into the Earth of the future and, with the help of the gifted Steve Perry, it also shows how a powerful queen Alien could possibly affect the more unstable members of our communities. We are reintroduced to a theme common amongst Aliens titles, that of corporate, and even human, greed threatening the survival of humans. Only this time, it isn't a few people stranded on some forgotten colony or an obscure spacestation, its right here on Earth. From there, we are again given the theme of human arrogance once more, and get to see our heroes (the Aliens, of course) in a position that they haven't been in before. They are in position to keep their cupboards well-stocked and their cups running over.
This book is an excellent read, flowing from beginning to end, and opens the door to the other two pieces of this puzzle. It is something I would recommend very strongly.

Rating: 5 stars
