Then you did not understand the Queen's telepathic abilities.

Spears had a solid concept and screwed the execution. Breeding Xenomorphs has taught me there can be trust, affection, and loyalty in Plagiarus praepotens, but they're much too smart and wily to settle for a subservient role. Use volunteer hosts as much as possible, always be gentle with eggs and hatchlings, calm and friendly with the adults from Chrysalide all the way up to Queen Mother, and they'll accept you as one of the community. They'll never be underlings to some arrogant human, but they are loyal, fiercely protective allies if they know you'll do it for them too.

You voice combined with this profoundly great writing, just get ya fully immersed though every characters inner monolouge, every new setting, every description of gore and perverse alien anatomy and behavior along with science lingo. It's all just delivered so well! Everyone could see spears downfall coming a mile away (didn't see him pop up in that taming a xenomorph video ) but it was in any case WONDERFUL to see him torn apart by soldiers he was deluded into think we're his own. The xenomorphs numbered faces remind me of the avp game but slightly cooler, I wonder if the game got the inspiration to do the numbering thing from this graphic novel or if it's a coincidence

I remember the novels from the 90's and still have them; Spears was nuts to think he could control them.

I read this book years ago. Glad to see someone else knows the insanity of this character. Also, that if one egg were here on earth, we would be doomed. In absence of a queen, an egg mutates so that when the face hugger deposits egg in creatures chest, a queen is what breaks out.

This "gun" is twice that heavy as Ripley, but I cannot stop admiring it, this is awesome, this is exactly how Alien franchaise should be developed.
