About this listen

War will always find a man like you.

This ALIEN story begins where most end: with a xenomorph loose on a damaged spaceship hurtling through space. Once a highly decorated marine, Chris Temple, a recently widowed single father to two young daughters, Jane, 11, and Emma, 8, is onboard. Despite his particular set of skills, Chris doesn’t get involved in the fight with the alien, instead focusing on keeping his children safe as the ship comes in for a crash landing.

The family land safely on an idyllic outpost planet, where Chris is told that the ship has been destroyed beyond recognition and nothing could have survived the crash. That’s only the first lie. Chris and his daughters love their new life, but something doesn’t feel right. Chris is a paranoid type, but just because he’s paranoid, doesn’t mean he’s wrong.

There are nasty surprises in store as Chris investigates the web of lies and conspiracies. After leaving a ruined Earth, it seems Chris and his daughters have crash-landed on a planet on the verge of all-out civil war. Chris will have to call on the battle skills he never wanted to use again in order to protect his daughters, deal with violence-hungry marines, and battle the xenomorph that’s killing people regardless of which side of the civil war they’re on.

Pedantic and the character's dialogue was infantile

The narrator used cartoon voices, like over-the-top Southern accents, (like Gomer Pile from the 50s.) The voices were just not believable and didn't match the characters.

The story was just so-so. I couldn't finish as the narration was distracting and the pace of the storyline was too slow

What is happening?! Shouldn't there be a story?

Right out of the gate, the narrator and I didn't mesh. And I'm waiting for the story to start, for some action to get me involved in the narrative, but I'm so bored... And then I realize, I'm almost half way through this audiobook and so little has happened, it's of no consequence and I don't care anymore. Worse Alien book IMO.
