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.

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.

Really well done

A ton of short stories, but they are actually really good and it revisits on some characters like Hicks, Bishop and such

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

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.
