Format:Paperback
I was hooked on the PC game AVP and so got the book.
I found the insight gained into the culture of the Preds and the Biology of the Aliens was done in an imaginative and very clever way; I even found myself relating to the Predator culture and understanding the motivations.
Be warned, this book has a brilliant ending...

After playing the game Aliens vs. Predator on my PC, I thought I would read the books. After reading 8 of the Alien books, all 3 of the Predator books and the other 2 AvP books, this one was the best. Reading the story from the Predators' point of view worked extremely well. All we need now is more AvP books in the series to follow on from AvP:War.

Luck is a funny thing isn't it? I mean luck was the reason why I actually read this book. When you are stuck in a place where you don't know anyone and have nothing to do, what do you do? You pick up a book and start reading! That was what happened with this book, and I'm so glad I did pick it up. It is quite simply one of the best books I have ever read.
It is written by Steve and Stephani Perry. I had not read any of Steve's work but I had read some of Stephani's.
I started reading this excellent book and thus, I discovered my favourite fictional character ever. Machiko Noguchi. She is so cool; if this book did not have her it would not have been the same. She brings a real down to earth feeling to the novel and is just an instantly likeable character.
I thought the story line of this book was brilliant and I was relieved to find that it was not too complicated. The in depth detail helps you understand the predators and the aliens a lot more as opposed to in the films.
This book was funny, scary, charming, thought provoking and action packed in all the right places.
I enjoyed this book thoroughly and I cannot wait to start the next one. This book is basically 259 pages of pure class!

Should have been the first AvP film
I actually read this in the 80`s in "warrior" a "Black horse" Magazine and thought then that it would make a great film. A good story and a strong female lead in the "Ripley" mode. Read more

pure pulp
This is generic sci-fi at it's worst. Badly written, shoddy charaterisation this is the kind of read for a no-brainer. Read more

The first for Ms Noguchi
This book is the first in an AvP series all about Ms Noguchi's experience with the predator species. Ladies and gents, this book is what the first AvP film wishes it was. Read more

AVP - Prey
I though this book was excellent. The way it told half the story through the eyes of a predator was awesome, and gave much greater insight into the predators way of live. Read more
