These books are wonderful and I mean that in two ways.

1) they're excellent, I love Alex's writing and every second spent with these characters was worth it

2) actually inspiring wonder, cutting to the bone of what friendship and duty mean and how they can be the bonds that save the universe

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from ALIEN: Rogue Incursion but I really like it! I was happy to find how it extends from ALIENS: Defiance and ALIEN: Isolation, with some great writing from @alexwhite.bsky.social. And, appropriately, it keeps you on your toes. Keep checking that motion tracker…

This series is one of my comfort reads, with humans humaning awkwardly while saving the universe.

AND it is fundamentally archeology sci-fi (a sub-genre I weirdly love) with a consistent magic system that could make it fantasy, but really it is just sci-fi so soft it's mushy.

Read. These. Books.

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Anything that ends in an E, I give it the Greek or English pronunciation, depending on which is funniest.

The Salvagers trilogy is one of my all-time favourite sci fi series. The characters became people I would think about in the same way I think of dear friends. It's fantastic and this price is a STEAL. BUY IT.
