Mister_4Chongles: If memory serves, there was a Predator novel that concerned a female human that fought the Predators and eventually gained their respect and joined their ranks (this idea was later semi-used in the AVP movie). There might be an off chance that this pic references this book.
Krawczyk: Yep, Machiko Naguchi. I got the whole series. It falls apart after the first though. She starts going all Trinity on Xeno queen ass. Retagged, as well.
It sucks because she was beating everyone with her cunning wit, and then it just had to go Dark Angel and suck balls. And not in a good way. At the end of Hunter's Planet she doesn't even participate in the last climatic battle! Wasted potential all around. Some books really WOULD be better commitee designed.
Ah yes one last mark against it. The author threw a romance angle into it with some corporate guy too. Talk about weeaboo fantasy right there, hot scantily clad spear-wielding alien-hewing chick dating a corporate cog. If I had been watching that in a movie instead of reading it, total facepalm moment. And then Bischoff goes and kills off the competition (her Pred mentor) as well, so no, no hot interspecies sex for anybody.
(as it is, I wound up slapping myself in the forehead with the binding instead.)
If anyone wants to add more tags off it go ahead, but I think that covers it.
Anonymous4: If I recall correctly (and I do), the "corporate cog", Ned Sanchez, used to work for a "security firm" (fancy speak for mercenary group) that specialized in shooting the bugs. If you've compared a mercenary to a desk jockey, you've probably noticed a few differences.

But that was a pretty cool book.

I agree with your points on them killing off the pred mentor and the stupid climatic battle though.
