Rating:  Summary: I've read better books from her Review: A good book. Resedent evil and resedent evil 2 are better. any body that reads this; I suggest you read both of those books. They're great books! There could of been a better plot and more characters and the ending happend kind of fast. But other than that a great book lots of blood and exitment!
Rating:  Summary: A Book Lacking A Story Review: Aliens: Berserker was a well-paced story that lacked the story. It was witty, and action-packed, but it left you wondering what the whole thing was about. The author focused too much on the characters and less on the plot. S.D. Perry is an excellent novelist, and has a born instinct on building characters, yet this novel keeps you asking questions beyond the end. I am impressed by the writing, and highly recommend her other works. As for this book, ask her what it's about.
Rating:  Summary: Well written but we could have used more characters. Review: Awesome concept desperate prisonors fighting Aliens to get a shortened prison sentence. But the end just finishes off like nothing, Ms. Perry tries to fit in a small bit of company conspiracy. But it's not enough for you to enjoy, and with only 7 major characters there is not much you can do with that.
Rating:  Summary: While A great read the ending took the horror out. Review: Berserker had what every good Alien story should, it will really pull any fan of the first two movies way in to the thick of the situations and have you grasping for breath. Ultimitly though it falls way short of bringing closure to the story.
Rating:  Summary: Better than the others... Review: Berserker is actually one of the better and more captivating books in the Aliens series. While the concept isn't exactly original -- Aliens: Tribes was also about a berserker team -- this book was certainly a lot better written than tribes. The characters were well developed, and most of them were understandable people the reader is able to sympathize with. You could easily feel sorry for Teape when he's doing his job, or understand how Ellis feels around other members of the crew.In addition, unlike most of the books preceding this one, there is actually quite a bit of action. We get a lot of bug hunting, and, more importantly, cool bug killing. Others have complained about the lack of something so basic as a plot, but there is a rudimentary plot, and that's all that's needed. The team is sent to wipe out a bug infestation and uncovers a Company coverup. Let's face it, in this series, you don't need a great, subtle plot, you just need an excuse to kill some XTs. The MAX (Mobile Assault ExoWarrior or somesuch) was really cool, although I seem to recall that in Tribes it was colled a MOX (offensive instead of assault). Oh well. Overall this was a fun, fast-paced, very readable bit of fiction. The only real downside is the cover. That must be one of the worst cover illustrations I've ever seen. UGGHH!

Rating:  Summary: What a Book! Review: Berserker was a excellent book! It had a awesome story line, S.D Perry did a very good job writing this book. She keeps me into the book. I couldn't put the book down. I love how the Aliens bring in a memeber of the Berserker Team into the hive and send in the MAX. Like I said, this was a great book. A must buy book. Trust me this is worth buying.....
Rating:  Summary: I thought it was great Review: I thought this book was great but I warn you that the end does end fast and frankly kind of sucks. You may ask then why I just gave it 5 Star's The answer: great outer and iner conflict's and the fact the 2 book's I had just read before it wore Alien's Harvest & Music of spear's. A good book though for alien's fan's I would say to read Earth Hive, Labrinth, Alien's V.S Predater: Prey and, Starship Trooper's
Rating:  Summary: Not bad; not all that great either Review: I wasn't disappointed when I read Berserker the novel. It was definately a step up from the comic. I think that Perry did the more or less the best she could with what she had to work with. It could have been better in some areas, but it could have been a hell of a lot worse, too, if someone like Bischoff had written it.
Rating:  Summary: What a dissapointment Review: It's too bad that the alien series has to be disscraced by such an auful comic. No series or true aliens fan will buy this piece of trash. I'd give it 0 stars if I could, Nevermind that, negative 5 stars would be best.
