If the last one was Alien 3 but worse, this one starts out looking like Aliens but worse, but then it surprises by instead being about how there was an alien city that was destroyed by the capital-A Aliens hundreds or thousands of years ago on this planet and Weyland-Yutani send in a bunch of mercenaries (not Colonial Marines) to recover artifacts accompanied by the protagonist, who is a bad-ass cool tough guy who is psychic and also a descendant of Ellen Ripley (Amanda Ripley died childless according to Aliens, but as these novels are now canon as well apparently, that's a retcon, not a plot hole), which the Aliens know and it causes them to hate and fear him especially. It's the sort of story you could see being played out over recess, if elementary school students watched the Alien movies (except that the purple Powerpuff Girl OC protagonist also has casual sex with one of the lady mercenaries on the day he meets them, because why wouldn't he?).
Moore has definitely seen at least some of the movies, since he shamelessly mines them for scenes he thinks are cool—I'm not sure how he managed to miss the tone of the series so badly. The writing itself is fractionally better than Lebbon's in the first one, but it's hard to even see this as an Alien novel.

(The most irritating thing about this book is that the narrator calls the aliens Xenomorphs (capital letter, no qualifiers) at one point, so I guess that's their fucking name officially now.)
