À propos de cet audio
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 is imprisoned, accused as spies, but manages to send out a distress signal - to the Colonial Marines.

My personal favorite of the alien novels
This book is the most complex of the alien novels with its take on geo-political politics. As a follow up to the Cold Forge this book is vastly superior and I highly recommend it.

The narration is not good. Story is ok at best.
I’m 4.5hrs into the audiobook and it has gone nowhere. The tie-in to Cold Forge is more of a fan service than anything else.
Also, writers cramming woke culturness into these alien books is super annoying.
I’m not reading alien for a lesson in Muslim culture in space. I have nothing against them or their religion but Alex really just crammed that in there and made a massive portion of the story telling about it.

Read it twice
Innovative way of reimagining the alien universe; I had to listen to the story twice.

One of the better Alien novels
This was a multi layered plot with strong character development. I rate this a Top 3 of all the novels.

Ignore the "anti-woke" crowd
This was a good alien story showing how bad things can get when WY basically runs a government and military, and how that impacts other governments and colonies who have no ties to WY.
Very slight spoilers ahead.
It also doesn't try to put all the blame on a faceless corporation. It takes individual people, as well as systems in the government and military enabling, covering up, or actively participating in WY's warcrimes for the corruption to set in and thrive. That is bound to exacerbate existing racism, sexism, and general bigotry in the people who make up the systems.

Too much wasted time
They spend too much time developing characters who just die. Too many main characters die. “Subverting expectations” has gone too far.

An Underwhelming Alien Book
Alien: Into Charybdis is a semi, quasi, loose sequel to Alex White's great Alien novel, "The Cold Forge". There are elements that link this book to "Cold Forge" but it's not a sequel per se and doesn't require to have read that book to enjoy Charybdis. "Into Charybdis" is well-written, White's ear for dialogue is on point as usual, and Shiromi Arserio does a good job at reading it for the most part, struggling now and then with some of the male voices, but overall, this story dragged and I lost interest far too many times to make this a great read/listen. I find it had a similar issue as "Cold Forge" in terms of there being too many main characters and not one that we truly care about. Still, at times, it can be a fun book and there are often glimpses of brilliance, including some cool Alien references and nice twists. It's not in the same league as the Audible trilogy of dramatizations of Alien novels from a few years back, but it's miles better than Scott Sigler's "Phalanx" and Tim Waggoner's "Prototype", both of which I couldn't bring myself to finish.

Great take on typical alien storyline
This book took your typical alien story and built on it in ways I really enjoyed. The movies mention the nefarious intentions of WY but never really go into it. The political aspect of this book is something I really enjoyed as it's what I imagined the actuality of WY's evil in a more realistic setting.
This book explores many characters that you get tied to and are left on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I enjoyed the narrator's take on voices and it really helped build who they were in my head which overall helped the storyline.
Can't reccomend this book enough.
