Stjep reviewed Earth hive by Mark Verheiden (Aliens -- bk. 1)
Review of 'Earth hive' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
Militaristic, male power fantasy that reads like it has been written by an adolescent at the height of puberty.
The plot is shallow, the characters lack any depth and while there is litte coherence to much of the story, a ton of emphasis is put on describing the workings of sci-fi guns and weaponry. There is also a weird amount of pseudo-sci-fi-lingo that is completely unnecessary and makes the story even harder to read.
The story covers everything from sexualization of the only, barely adult female protagonist to low-key racism and glorification of violence. I genuinely don't understand how anyone could enjoy this. A truly awful and unnecessary book.
