Synopsis

The critically acclaimed author of Alien: The Cold Forge takes listeners to a rogue colony where terror lurks in the tunnels of an abandoned Weyland-Yutani complex.“Shy” Hunt and the tech team from McAllen Integrations thought they’d have an easy job—set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, built on the abandoned ruins of a complex known as “Charybdis.” There are just two problems: the colony belongs to the Iranian state, so diplomacy is strained at best, and the complex is located above a series of hidden caves that contain deadly secrets. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen Integrations crew are imprisoned, accused as spies, but manage to send out a distress signal—to the Colonial Marines.

"Dark flesh pulls back, revealing a mouth of jagged obsidian teeth— a child’s drawing of a nightmare." What do you want from an Alien novel? You want xenomorphs, of course, and you want the human world, which consists of huge, impersonal corporations riding roughshod over their employees (maybe even......more

Xenoarchaeologists call someone’s first exposure to alien cultures the “depersonalization effect,” the sudden recognition that the universe isn’t human, or for humans. I am frequently amazed at how good the Alien books are. This is quite unusual if you consider the basic lifecycle (facehugger, chestb......more

For anyone interested in reading this book I highly recommend reading “Alien : The Cold Forge” first. The author does say this is not necessary but I think to really appreciate this book and to understand why I rated it a four instead of a three Cold Forge needs to have been read. This one overall i......more

White knows how to write an Alien story. Brutal, shocking violence, along with the fear and dread of the unknown keep keeps readers on their toes and quickly turning pages to follow along with a cast of sympathetic characters. Looking forward to more from this author.......more

About a quarter of the way in I didn't really like the way things were headed. It seemed sort of corny and not congruent with other Alien stuff. But Prometheus was referenced a few times in the beginning so I went back and re-watched that movie and Alien Covenant back to back. I liked Prometheus whe......more
