LOL, I think besides me and Hayabashi there may not be a very active member who's read the book. (Not sure if Ameyra has or not.) Personally, despite it's dark and doomed portrayal of Earth in the future and the presence of xenomorphs causing them to end up in the dreams/nightmares of those who are really high up on empathy and telepathy charts, I found it very original and interesting. It was also quite realistic in most ways and the ending was incredibly gratifying...
My only real regret about it is that the author referred to pulse rifles as carbines, and that they had some plasma weaponry. (Though the plasma weaponry seemed incredibly expensive and dangerous, use of such weapons in space would be utterly insane to do with how involitile the weapons are, one error could get a splash of plasma all over the user... Which is MUCH worse than acid blood. The plasma weapons were incredibly unreasonable to even risk using unless it was as a last resort.)
EDIT: Ultimately though, it's all a matter of opinion.

I think Earth Hive is the best book in the Alien series. It has a great plot and dosen't give you any BS like The Female War and Alien Harvest. God, those books sucked. Gotta give Steve Perry credit for coming up with this masterpiece.

Meh, I think story-wise I like Aliens: Rogue a bit more than Earth Hive, the best parts about Earth Hive in my opinion would be seeing one of the worlds the Space Jockeys seem to have grown xenomiorphs on and how some of the native species deal with them and manage to survive and the realistic takeover of the Earth. It also gave you a pretty creepy look into how industrialized the future could be, and how inhumane we could become toward the mentally ill.

In their defense, the books haven't been made for years...
