Not the best installment in the Predator universe; this read like mediocre fanfic. This features two leads-- a female Russian army office named Ligacheva and our old friend Schaefer, the NYC cop and brother of Dutch. The plot is pretty simple-- a Predator spacecraft has crash landed in Siberia near an oil pumping station. The Russians find it first (of course), but lets say things did not go well. The Americans traced it and figured out what it was and of course send a team to check it out, which includes the unwilling Schaefer...
Not sure what Archer was going for here. You would expect a Predator novel to be action packed and unfortunately, this was not. Yes, Archer did flesh out the characters a bit, but this means they went from merely flat to slightly rounded. Perhaps the most interesting part consisted of the oh not very subtle message that politicians, both American and Russian, would do just about anything to get their hands on Predator tech and treat soldiers as simply disposable assets. Not very profound, but there you go. Still, this is mildly entertaining and the one thing Archer did well was convey how damned cold Siberia is. 2 weak stars.

Honestly so bad I’d recommend skipping

I wish I had known before going into this that this was a sequel to the “concrete jungle� which was a very disappointing book. There are a lot of useless characters in the story and the protagonist drags it down the most. He is very inconsistent and seems to change personality from chapter to chapter. This would have been much better if it dropped everything from the first book and just focused on the new characters. I would’ve skipped this if I had known it was a sequel to the other book. Slightly better but still crap. 2.5

This is definately a crappy Fan-Fiction but if you have any nostalgic memories of Arnold yelling, " GET TO THE CHOPPA!" it serves its purpose. Plus, there are a couple of good easter eggs in here that reference the movies character Major "Dutch" Sheafer. - S. Totty

I read the original comic series this was based on years ago, but I think I enjoyed this novel more. Predators end up in Siberia when their ship crash lands, and the Russians and Americans end up in a race to acquire their technology. Schaefer shows up again from the first novel, who is the brother of Arnold's Dutch character from the original Predator film. It was cool to see the Predators in snow since we'd only seen them in hot climates before. This would have made a pretty good movie. Great read.

A fun action horror book that captures the weather perfectly and takes a surprisingly unjingoistic stance on then modern politics.

"Predator: Cold War" by Nathan Archer is a gripping continuation of the Predator saga, transporting readers to the unforgiving wilderness of Siberia where the Predator are once again on the hunt. Archer's skillful storytelling and attention to detail make this novel an exhilarating read, filled with intense action and chilling suspense.
In "Predator: Cold War," Archer introduces us to a new cast of characters who find themselves entangled in a battle against both the elements and the relentless Yautja hunters. As a team of scientists and military personnel embarks on a research expedition in Siberia, they unwittingly disturb a Predator crash site. What follows is a deadly game of survival as the team must face not only the lethal Predators but also the treacherous cold and isolation of the Siberian wilderness.
Archer's vivid descriptions paint a vivid picture of the harsh and desolate landscape, effectively capturing the sense of isolation and vulnerability that permeates the story. The chilling cold becomes as much of a threat as the Predators themselves, adding an extra layer of tension to the narrative. The author's attention to detail is commendable, making the setting come alive and allowing readers to feel the bone-chilling cold and the vastness of the tundra.
The characters in "Predator: Cold War" are well-developed and relatable, each with their own strengths, flaws, and personal struggles. Archer takes the time to delve into their backgrounds and motivations, allowing readers to form a connection with them. The camaraderie and dynamics within the group are realistic and add depth to the story, as they must rely on each other to survive the dual threats they face.
As the Predators unleash their deadly hunt, the action in "Predator: Cold War" is relentless and adrenaline-fueled. Archer skillfully crafts thrilling and suspenseful sequences that keep readers on the edge of their seats. The encounters between the human characters and the Predators are intense and pulse-pounding, showcasing the Yautja's formidable skills and their unwavering determination to claim their prey.
One aspect that stands out in "Predator: Cold War" is its exploration of the ancient mythology and history surrounding the Predators. Archer weaves in elements of folklore and legends, revealing intriguing insights into the origins and purpose of the Yautja's hunts. This adds depth to the story and elevates it beyond a simple action-packed thriller, providing fans of the franchise with a deeper understanding of the Predator universe.
While "Predator: Cold War" delivers an engaging and thrilling reading experience, there are moments where the pacing slows down slightly, particularly during the exposition-heavy parts that delve into the Predator mythology. However, these moments are quickly overshadowed by the intense action and suspense that permeate the rest of the novel.
In conclusion, "Predator: Cold War" is a heart-stopping continuation of the Predator franchise, taking readers on a treacherous journey through the frozen landscapes of Siberia. Nathan Archer's meticulous attention to detail, well-developed characters, and relentless action make this novel a must-read for fans of the series. With its chilling suspense and exploration of Predator mythology, "Predator: Cold War" is a worthy addition to the franchise, offering a thrilling and immersive reading experience.

I’ve had this novel on my shelf for awhile and it was a long time since I read Concrete Jungle, so I figured it would be an easy quick read. It was.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot that was great about it. Given my love of alien cultures, my favourite Predator books/movies are the ones that delve into their culture or at least give us a glimpse into it. The Aliens vs Predator books did this, as did a few of the movies, but this novel barely has the Predators in it! Seriously, this book is 80% filler and maybe 20% about the actual alien hunters.
It takes place half a year after Concrete Jungle, which, looking back at my old review, I gave FOUR stars to? What? Was I drunk? Maybe it really was fun - I do recall it being entertaining. This novel � not so much.
First of all, as I said, there is so much filler. In all honesty, it felt like the author had started crafting a Predator novel set in Siberia starring a cool Russian woman but then was told it had to fit in with Concrete Jungle and Schaefer had to be part of it. Rather than rewrite it, I suppose, the story pivots so fast it might as well be a ballerina in Swan Lake. Most of the middle of the book is far from interesting and, I’ll admit, any chapter with Rasche I pretty much skipped as you can tell from the get-go what his purpose in the story is.
The novel tried way too hard to be politically relevant that it forgot it’s a campy Predator novel. The climax is utterly disappointing. The extra military characters were tedious stereotypes trying to push their big dick energy all over the place with the result being a bolus of boring bullshit.
Now, I will say, while there weren’t nearly enough women in the novel, I liked that there was a female drug boss and loved how Ligacheva didn’t get pushed out of the novel when Schaefer showed up. It’s the opposite in fact, which flat out surprised me. I honestly expected her to need rescuing by Schaefer once if not more times and that she’d give an assist during the final fight and not be really involved, but I was pleasantly surprised at how this novel bucked those stereotypes. Bravo on that at least.
Is this worth a read? Honestly, no, not really, even for Predator fans. Will I read more Predator books? If I could get a hold of VanderMeer’s South China Sea somehow, I definitely will read that (anyone want to lend it to me?), and the others? Well, I’ve been skimming Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ reviews of them, and I think I would try Flesh and Blood and Turnabout (the latter because Steve Perry wrote it), but the others I’ll pass on. I’ve already read the most recent AVP series. How does one become a writer of Predator novels? I’ve written enough fanfiction to be honest I’m probably qualified â€�

I did not think the second installment of this Predator series could be any worse than the first, but this book proved me wrong.
I wanted to read about the awesome gnarly alien hunters that everyone probably picked up these books for, but all I got was a bunch of government officials and military/police officers posturing at one another, making obscenely stupid choices, or committing treason; it was a chore to get through this book. The Predators had JUST enough page time to warrant ‘Predator� being in the title. Once again, they have their big bad scenes taking out military squads, but when it comes to facing off against the leads they’re down within paragraphs. I get that the leads are supposed to be strong and capable, but the thing about the Predators is that they’re supposed to be even more powerful and capable and a hecking challenge to take out. Apparently not in this book.
Dutch is brought up throughout the book without any intent of having some form of closure or any progression on his story for that matter. It’s just as stagnant as in the first book. For some reason it was so important that we know Ligacheva had managed to avoid getting raped as a female lieutenant that it had to be needlessly pointed out at least twice in the book at the most random of times, even though it had literally nothing to do with what was going on at the time nor the rest of the book. Philips is back but is lost amidst a horde of throw away characters, and Schaefer’s best point is that his name managed to get spelled correctly on the back cover this time around.
I’m a massive Predator fan, but I can’t recommend this book. I’m almost disappointed in myself for finishing it, especially after reading the stupidly cringey Arnold - Schaefer comparison. Once in the first book was far too many times and it absolutely pained me that the author felt the need to do it again.

It's fun, but at the same exact time this novel is better than previous one (Concrete Jungle) and worse. The first one suffered a lot of being pretty much the same thing with the second movie. Cold War sure doesn't feel like that. Instead, it shows us something different - Predators in the cold environment. It even provides a pretty solid excuse for that (unlike the unauthorized Russian novel called Predator III, also known as Predator III: Antarctica). The problem is - Concrete Jungle tried to tell us some story. Pretty poor one, but who cares? Who would expect complicated story from Predator anyway? But there was a story. Here, in the Cold War... there's only setting. I mean, yeah, there are Russians. Fighting Americans. In the cold environment. Hence the pun in the title. I was seriously surprised that author properly described Russia. Can't argue with that, pretty accurate stuff. But that's pretty much it. Some old characters and a Russian girl who fights like ten Arnies. Again, it's not bad. If you like reading during your coffee breaks, or while you're in subway, then it'll do. But again, Lawrence Watt-Evans (Nathan Archer) was unable to achieve his true goal. Again, he had a serious chance to succeed. He had everything for that. He had nice writing, he had solid characters, he had some freakin' Predators in the unfriendly environment... but unfortunately, he totally forgot about the story. This novel is just some moving and some shooting. And that's it. Sad. But true.

This story was way, way, better than the first one. For one, I loved the development of characters, even Schaefer was far better. I ranted about him in the last review, mostly cause I felt he made really no sense. In this one, he funnier (not like the macho snapback he had in the first one), he sarcastic and dry banter was a welcome change. Rasche, I adored in this, he felt like he shouldn't even be part of this, but that what made him so awesome. His development in the first book was good, but this goes farther. Showing just how awesome he is and why he, an "ordinary" cop, is Schaefer's partner. The new character, Ligacheva, was good too. I like her sense of justice. She also gives a different view Schaefer, that the reader didn't see before. A better understanding.
By the way, I loved the use of environment! The first book had a lot of references to the movies...which is one reason I felt the book was just trying to smush the locations into the same narrative, just to have them with no real reason. BUT, this book use the Siberian land amazingly. It's the basic setup to the whole story!
So far, this is my favorite Predator book, and I'm so happy to have contiuned forward and keep reading them.
My only hope for the future is that the authors will evolve the Predators more, don't be afraid to show or change thing up a bit. Do something with their culture, habits, planet! Nothing been truly defined or set in stone, have fun with it!

Up to this point, Cold War is by and large the best of the entirety of the Predator franchise novels. It’s probably the best of the Aliens vs. Predator novels, and it’s the best of what I’ve read of the stand alone Aliens stuff. In other words, this one was really damn good.
It’s got Predators taking on Russians and Americans in freaking Siberia. How the hell can that not be a perfect setting. Add in Rasche and Schaefer from the last book, and Archer’s sarcastic/edgy style and the recipe is perfect. Even the story itself is one of the better ones, replacing Cold War tensions and relations at the forefront, rather than a lot of titular creature feature action.
But that’s not to say the Predators don’t make their requisite appearance. They do. And they’re as mean, nasty, and bad ass as anything we’ve seen before.
It’s a shame that Archer only wrote 2 of these. I know some find his style to be abrasive and somewhat juvenile, but he added a realness to this series that just worked so well.
Regardless, Cold War is a great read. Any fans of these creatures or even fans of Archer himself need to give this one a go.

Not as good as Concrete Jungle, but Cold War was still entertaining. My younger brother had one issue from the comic this was adapted in the 90s. I remembered the scenes, and it was fun finally seeing the conclusion (albeit after a 25-year cliffhanger). Dutch's brother, Schaeffer, was still cool, but Rasche wasn't needed in this novel. His scenes were annoying and took away the one star in my review. It was cool (heh heh) having the humid-loving Predators have to fight in Siberia of all places. I have one more book to read about Predators before going back sword and sorcery. I watched The Predator after reading Concrete Jungle (the worst movie, including AVP titles). I think this time I'll watch my favorite (Predator 2. Yes, it's better than the original with cooler gadgets and more action. I won't take it back. In fact, Predators is second best).
August 17, 2018
This book has the same appeal as the others in the series: an expansion of the Predator mythos for major fans. It also has the same problems as the others, like crappy action movie lines and two dimensional characters. Still a fun read, though.
October 18, 2021
Pretty poor reading experience. Guess you have to be a super fan to enjoy these predator stories. Would classify as "lore". Group of aliens crashes in Siberia near remote oil piping station. Russkies duke it out with Predators. American cop has to fly in to assist.

Great fun!

Not worth the read. Nothing really advances from Concrete Jungle. The same characters do pretty much the same thing with essentially the same result.
February 14, 2021
Utter dross, the only good thing about this book is it’s rather short. Any longer and I would have failed to finish it.
January 28, 2023
Good follow up to the first book.
June 17, 2024
For what it is supposed to be mid 90s macho one-liner hard nosed cop vs. bad guy Russians vs. Predator, it's perfect. As good sci-fi it's iffy, but I wasn't expecting that.
June 28, 2018
It's as you'd expect. Actiony. But not in a boring McNab way but in a fun, accessible, sci-fi way.
I like the descriptions, especially of the main character 'Schaefer' (the brother of Arnie's character 'Dutch' from the movie). He's just so ... cartoony! The stereotypical man-of-action, it's as if the book were lampooning its own genre. Very amusing and entertaining to read about him (and I think the author clearly enjoyed writing about him).
If you like the Predator movies - as I do - and are looking for expansion to the franchise, then this book does not disappoint. It doesn't give away too many of the mysteries surrounding the Predator race, and when the main characters finally do battle with them the reader is satisfied despite the Predators seeming to lose a bit too easily.
There's enough decent drama in the book, and the story brings in politics in a way that enriches the story rather than detracts (like the way the gang warfare stuff in the second movie adds layers rather than making the story "unfocused"). The Siberian setting is captivating. The images conjured up by the reader - skilfully suggested by the writer - of abandoned Soviet installations are tantalizing; meanwhile the more typical urban scenes are perhaps a bit more mundane, but their purpose is only to move the story along, and they're done well. Either way, the story moves along at a satisfying pace and with detailed pictures in the mind's eye.
There's some strong characters. Not too huge a web of them for it to be too difficult keeping track of everyone, although maybe all the Russian names can get confusing. There's a hint of Clarice Starling in the female lead, meanwhile Schaefer is pretty much just like Dutch but with a more cynical edge.
The story's great merits are: in its descriptions - very evocative and sensuous; its respectfully authentic contribution to the Predator universe; its tight storytelling (never gets boring); its interesting and fun characters; and the interweaving of themes such as the Cold War, shady government operations, loyalty to a cop partner, moral sense of duty to one's job in one's chosen home; facing discrimination in the workplace; and the fated failure of highly trained muscle men with high-tech gear when they underestimate and don't understand the enemy.

Concrete Jungle was a terrible Predator novel, but somehow its sequel, Cold War, ends up being one of the best early Alien/Predator books out there. Still, it's not a great book, by any means--just a competent one. The action is decent and the dialog is surprisingly ok. The characters are better than those in Concrete Jungle, but the two leads still remain very one-dimensional. Even after two books, Archer doesn't even bother to give his two heroes first names. The Siberian setting is cool, and there are lots of good details regarding the landscape and weaponry. There are, however, a bunch of silly parts (including most of the ending), and Archer's Predators are far too easy killed, in my opinion.
December 25, 2010
I was pleasantly suprised that this book was really relly entertaining. I had bought this book on a whim at the local Flea Market. I figured it could not be worse than the 80s movie. Well it was nearly as good as the Arnold fest Predator movie. The book has all the problems of an 80s action movie. Bad acting, people acting stupid in the face of evidence that they were wrong. It was all very amusing and was entertaining to read. If you get a chance I recomend you read it. It will be OK.
October 24, 2016
This book is for certain one of favorite books so far. Maybe it's because I don't read much, or because I love action and alien books. It had parts in the book where there is tons of action, and others where it was very boring. Some areas of the book were very dry, and felt useless with no addition to the actual story. The Predators didn't make many appearances in the book despite that it is named after them. Maybe if the Predators made more appearances, then I could give it 5 stars.
June 23, 2012
Russians fight some Predators in Siberia! This was exactly what I was hoping for going in, and absolutely what was delivered. Not a great book, or amazingly original. But it was popcorn. With butter. And vodka.
May 23, 2012
Read it back in middle school. Enjoyed it then, along with several other Aliens, Predator, and Aliens vs. Predator books, but I probably wouldn't read it again.
August 28, 2023
Excellent as always, it was full of action and story as well as some political maneuvering between the U.S and Russia in a bid to get a hold of Yautja technology.
March 15, 2016
3.75 stars. not quite as engaging to me as Archer's prior effort but a fun setting and dynamic. way too many characters to follow was its downfall.
April 7, 2017
I've had this book for decades, as far as I can remember, and I just picked it up for the first time. Excellent book! Better than I was expecting. An alien ship -and we all know who those aliens are- crash lands in Siberia. The Russians and Americans both want the technology. It's cold in Siberia and people are being slaughtered by unseen forces. Predator: Cold War is a political book, a book that reminded me a little of watching The Thing, and a little like watching Predator 2. By my understanding, the book is a novelization of a graphic novel by the same title. The two main characters are Russian Lieutenant Ligacheva and New York Detective Schaefer, brother to Dutch from the 1987 Predator movie. I definitely recommend reading this book.

Enjoyed this one more than the first (concrete jungle). Poor shivering predators.
