À propos de cet audio

When the Colonial Marines set out after their deadliest prey, the Xenomorphs, it's what Corporal Hicks calls a bug hunt - kill or be killed. Here are eighteen all-new stories of such "close encounters", written by many of today's most extraordinary authors.

Set during the events of all four Alien films, sending the Marines to alien worlds, to derelict space settlements, and into the nests of the universe's most dangerous monsters, these adventures are guaranteed to send the blood racing - one way or another.

Full list of authors include Paul Kupperberg, Dan Abnett, Rachel Caine, Yvonne Navarro, Christopher Golden, Matt Forbeck, Ray Garton, Weston Ochse, David Farland, Larry Correia, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Briane Keene, Heather Graham, Mike Resnick, Marina J. Lostetter, Jonathan Mayberry, James A. Moore, Scott Sigler, and Tim Lebbon.

Full cast of narrators include James Anderson Foster, Eric G. Dove, R. C. Bray, Chris Andrew Ciulla, Nicol Zanzarella, James Patrick Cronin, Suzanne Elise Freeman, Andrew Eiden, Michael David Axtell, Grover Gardner, Priya Ayyar, Peter Berkrot, Emily Sutton-Smith, Hillary Huber, Keith Szarabajka, Greg Tremblay, Kevin Kenerly, and Amy Landon.

Good, not great

It’s hard to rate a book like this. Some of the stories were great! Some were forgettable. Some of the voice acting was great! Some were mediocre. One was so bad I couldn’t listen to the story- it sounded like that terrible monotone computer generated voice-over was reading the story. Still, if you like the franchise it’s worth the listen. And especially so if you GM the RPG, some good nuggets of inspiration to be found here.

The dammed company!

Overall it was great, that's not to say it was was perfect (few things if any ever truly are!) but it was extremely enjoyable and hardly ever a struggle to get through.

I only ever found listening to the audio book difficult twice, perhaps three times. A couple of the short stories seemed peppered with strong themes and ideas that weren't particularly true to the "alien" world or just felt like weird feminism stuff, and a reader or two sounded dead or too bored to put on a good performance.

Granted these incidents where minor annoyances on what was as a whole, a very enjoyable listening experience that I do in time intend to listen to again!

Well worth the read, euh...

Good stories, for the most part. Some are really excellent. Good capture of the Alien universe for the most

Engaging

I could not put this down as the short stories though familiar had different nuances that kept me reading.

Great stories if you like the Aliens franchise.

All stories were well written and very well read. Definitely worth the download if you like the genre! Siglers contribution from the stand point of the alien was particularly well done and unique.

fun short stories

Fun to have this variety of stories.
They melded together nicely. I enjoyed the different narrators as well.

Great Fan-Fiction-Flavored Collection

As is the case with all of these multiple short story presentations, some are outstanding, some are "Meh", and some are genuine klunkers. Fortunately for Horror-tinged SciFi readers, this one has more of the first category.
The stories are more "Colonial Marines fight various Space Monsters" than "Alien"-based, but they're undeniably fun. I recognize several of the authors who submitted stories, too - who obviously wrote stories with love of the subject matter - and there are some Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker Award-worthy talents on display.
The bad entries are headshakingly bad (particularly the ones that don't include xenomorphs).. but be patient when you encounter one. The chances are that you'll be rewarded for your patience with the next in the queue.

As to presentation: The narrators are similarly a mixed bag.. displaying imperfections at times but high-quality listening experiences in general. The inclusion of a navigable menu by Blackstone Audio Inc. underlines the commitment to providing a worthy addition to your audiobook library.
[NOTE: A couple of performances include high volume whisper-screams that sound engineers are unable to soften. Avoid earbuds if you value your tympanic membranes (stick to your car/device speakers with this one)]

Editor Jonathan Maberry states in the Foreword that he had dozens of submissions for this project..
These 19 that he selected are praiseworthy. His curation for this 8.5/10 star compendium is impeccable (even the subpar entries were entertaining for a nerdy Ridley Scott/James Cameron fanboy like myself). The immersion into the 'Alien' Franchise universe over a couple of quiet afternoons was much appreciated.
I got 'Aliens: Bug Hunt' for free as part of the 'Plus' initiative.. but I would have paid a Credit if they had asked. Can Recommend.

[NOTE: Larry Correia's history of the development of the M41A Pulse Rifle is unique (written as an episode of a TV Exposé). I have never heard anything like it👍]

chapter 5

Narrator was way too loud, felt like he was shouting in my ear. Love the Alien novel series but this is my first time experiencing this.

a wonderful romp in the Aliens universe

a set of amazing stories in the Aliens universe without needing to always get the Xenomorph involved.
