About this ebook

When the Predators choose LV-363 for a hunt and seed it with Xenomorph eggs, the result is bizarre alien hybrids and humans trapped between the Predators and their prey.

The planet LV-363 teems with exotic life, including a plant growing in the shadows of its deep rifts. The plant’s flower yields a valuable narcotic, and people are forced by the cartels to harvest it. When a Yautja (Predator) ship arrives for a hunting ritual, the Predators seed the rifts with Xenomorph eggs. The aliens emerge and the result is bizarre and deadly hybrids, with humans trapped between the Predators and their prey. These deadly Xenomorph hybrids—some of which possess the ability to fly—swarm out of control and may prove more than either the Yautja or the humans can defeat.

Ratings and reviews

Some of the sentences that were being used sounded repetitive on certain chapters. I was rooting for Ar'Wen but found out at the end that he had a selfish ambition for revenge. The context got dull after using the same F word a lot. I got tired of hearing that word years ago in the entertainment industry. It's overrated, which was one of the reasons why I was losing interest when I was half way through the book but powered through at the end on certain days. I read Aliens: Infiltration and I thought that book was better but maybe because they had a videogame for it that it intrigued me to get more lore behind the characters of Aliens: Fireteam Elite. I guess I didn't like the idea of going through more than 5-7 characters perspective on Rift War.

A decent installment in the universe. first ever female to lead a story. interesting and well written.
