Product Description:
Lieutenant Ellen Ripley awoke from her long journey in space with a hole in her memory and an overwhelming drive to survive. When she meets Wilks and Billie, two battered veterans in the war against the aliens. She realizes she's found two comrades in arms--and she's ready to take up the fight. Only then does she discover the devastating secret that lurks behind her long sleep. When she, Wilks, and Billie prepare to meet the aliens head-on to turn a powerful alien queen against her spawn in a battle intended to save Earth, that secret becomes her greatest weapon--and her greatest liability. As the fate of Earth hangs in the balance, Ripley and Billie must come to terms with what it means to be an alien . . . and what it means to be human.

i have read the whole alien series and this is one of the worst books that Steve and Stephani have made. to me it seems like they ran out of ideas and at the end they put very little details into it. and what makes it worse is that they made a fake ripley, so real alien fans who have seen the movies know that she is dead. so the real fans know that she is fake which kind of ruins the ending.

I read the very first 2 and books and loved them. They were great, and had me glued to them. I couldn't put the very first one down until I finished.
So I finally picked up the final book in the summer. I read about half way through it and got so bored with it that I put it down and didn't pick it up until a couple days ago to finish it.
The characters ARE NOTHING like they were in the previous books, if you read the very first 2 and then read this one you would swear they were completely different. The actions, dialog, none of it seems familiar.
The book also doesn't do a very good job of explaining things, and goes through a lot of dry boring spells and then jumps into action without really setting any imagery for the reader.
Overall I think it was ok, I just would have rather had Steve alone finish it out.

Aliens: Female War, is easily the best book out of the trilogy it ends. Perhaps that is a product of Steve Perry finally becoming completely comfortable with his characters, perhaps it is the inclusion of Ellen Ripley.
As with the other books, the pacing in this volume is fast and thrilling, keeping with the feel of the movies, and as is tradition with this series, the threat level is stepped up from the last volume so the threat is more horrific than ever- a massive Queen of all Queens, the Alien that controls them all and has the ability to telepathically control humans, as well.
The character development is brilliant, and I love the way the author manages to include Ripley without shattering cannon. I was wondering how that would work out, but the Perry's handled it very well.
Over all, it's a fast fun read and a nice conclusion to the trilogy: Earth Hive, Nightmare Asylum, and now Female War. I recommended it for fans of the movies.

I loved the very first book! The second was kinda boring but i stomached it to get to the 3rd. I made it half way through this book and stopped.
