Story
Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles, varied cultures, and conquests, vibrant until the demons rose and spread relentless destruction. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails, and dreaded “tooth-tongues” raged through the lowlands, killing 90 percent of the planet’s population. Terrified survivors fled to hidden mountain keeps where they eke out a meager existence. When a trio of young warriors discovers a new weapon, they see a chance to end this curse. To save humanity, they must fight.

Story
As a child Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating - and waiting for suitable prey.

This terrifying assault by the Yautja cannot go unchallenged, yet the cost of combat is high. Predators are master combatants, and each encounter yields a high body count. Then, when Lt. Johnny Mains and his marines - the VoidLarks - enter the fray, they discover an enemy deadlier than any could imagine.

Even before the doomed mission to Hadley’s Hope on LV-426, Jenette Vasquez had to fight to survive. Born to an immigrant family with a long military tradition, she looked up to the stars, but life pulled her back down to Earth—first into a street gang, then prison. The Colonial Marines proved to be Vasquez’s way out—a way that forced her to give up her twin children. Raised by Jenette’s sister, those children, Leticia and Ramon, had to discover their own ways to survive.

Story
It was the end of World War II. FDR's New Deal had redefined American politics. Taxes were at an all-time high. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had created a fear of total annihilation. The rise of secret government agencies and sanctions on business had many watching their backs. America's sense of freedom was diminishing... and many were desperate to take that freedom back.

Thoroughly enjoyed it
I've read this book years ago and enjoyed it then. This version, narrated by Peter Guinness, is well worth listening to. I definitely recommend it.

Incredible from start to finish.
I am a life-long fan of the Alien franchise. I remember watching the first few movies when I was a little kid, and have been in love with the franchise ever since. The first Alien film is one of my all-time favorite movies. Now, more specific to this particular audiobook, there are some variations in the story which I won't spoil here, but it was not enough to detract from my experience. The narrator does an incredible job, truly a great performance from start to finish. I really enjoyed getting more into the characters' heads, which doesn't really happen in the film. I would highly recommend this to any fans of the Alien series, and any fans of good science-fiction / horror in general. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, and look forward to coming back for another listen at some point.

Rehash of movie
If you’ve watched the movie, then you wont get much more from this book. It’s almost as if the movie was transcribed. Disappointed, since I wanted more of the aliens origin backstory..,
