This being, at the time of writing, their latest.
Based on the video game series by Capcom (yes, the same people who did the Resident Evil games) which - I have to admit - I've never actually played, it's very easy to spot the influences of said game on the film, which (in the film) sees Jovovich's US Ranger Lt Artemis and her men transported to an alien environment infested by, you guessed it!, various icky monsters. It's also extremely easy to spot the influences of other, far far better, 'creature features': think Starship Troopers, Tremors or even Aliens to name but three!
Perhaps, as a non-player of the game, I'm just not the target audience ...?

I find these kind of reviews the hardest to write, so it will be short and sweet, much like the book!
And I think that's what didn't quite work for me. The book is cute and sweet, so very sweet, far too sickly sweet for me!
It's a NICE book, just one that didn't push my buttons in any way (eeek!)
It's only a short book, slotting between books one and two, I think and I haven't read those. Whether those characters pop up here, I've no idea but I didn't feel I missed anything, but equally, I don't feel the need to read them, you know?
So, because I did finish it, I gave it . . .
3 stars

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away ...
Well, at least one part of that is right, with Adam Driver playing an alien long-haul transport astronaut (who looks and sounds suspiciously human) who crash-lands on a planet (I'm reminded of the opening of Pitch Black, here) 65 million years ago.
Our planet.
Just before the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs hit.
Like, literally just before, with said asteroid causing him to crash and with it providing the 'timer', as he is trying to get off the planet just before it hits.
A planet that, here, is inhabited by all sorts of ferocious beasties: supposedly Dinosaurs, yet none known from the (current) fossil record, so they might as well just be generic monsters.
Not a bad concept, perhaps; I'm just not so sure about the execution.
