Über diesen Titel
A groundbreaking Latinx Aliens novel by a rising star Latina author, featuring the fan-favorite character PFC Jenette Vasquez from the hit movie Aliens and the family she is forced to leave behind
Even before the doomed mission to Hadley’s Hope on LV-426, Jenette Vasquez had to fight to survive. Born to an immigrant family with a long military tradition, she looked up to the stars, but life pulled her back down to Earth—first into a street gang, then prison. The Colonial Marines proved to be Vasquez’s way out—a way that forced her to give up her twin children. Raised by Jenette’s sister, those children, Leticia and Ramon, had to discover their own ways to survive. Leticia by following her mother’s path into the military, Ramon into the corporate hierarchy of Weyland-Yutani. Their paths would converge on an unnamed planet which some see as a potential utopia, while others would use it for highly secretive research. Regardless of whatever humans might have planned for it, however, Xenomorphs will turn it into a living hell.
©2022 Violet Castro (P)2022 Blackstone PublishingThe already pretty blunt modern message during the part of the book that's about Jenette Vasquez (sure, she has to be part of a violent gang, but it's societies fault and the first time she comes into contact with a cop he kills a more or less innocent person and another cop, frames her by just giving her his gun and NOBODY, just nobody at all investigates this and she's put into prison the very next day. sure) is turned up even stronger the longer the story runs.
Which wouldn't even be that bad, the modern message wasn't a total killer, just obnoxious, but the story isn't well written either. It starts ok, stays that way even after Jenettes death, but turns just bad in the last quarter of the book. The metaphors, the pseudo intellectual musings and phrases the characters spout, the plotholes and inconsistencies, all of that taken together are just bad.
And the woman reading this book isn't bad, but pretty bland, without much of any emotion and a very lackluster performance.
okay beginning, meh middle, bad end
