That passage from the book was quite good scarred, although for example, when a new character is introduced, describe it a little more, like when the aliens came, u could add something like "the creature's jet-black lips curled back revealing it's transleuscent teeth, a long string of slimy drool poured from the creature's mouth & formed a pool beneath it" just offering a suggestion, but still, it's quite good. About ur question earlier about the predator hurling his combistick & hitting a dropship's engine, blowing it up, what would add even more drama to the scene would be if the pred leapt to the top of the pyramid, & did a "Reign of Fire" style leap from the top & slammed his combistick through the ship's winshield mid-air, killing the pilot & causing the ship to crash. Just offering a suggestion, lol.
