Publisher's Summary

The planet LV-363 teems with exotic life, including a plant growing in the shadows of its deep rifts. The plant’s flower yields a valuable narcotic, and people are forced by the cartels to harvest it.

When a Yautja (Predator) ship arrives for a hunting ritual, the Predators seed the rifts with Xenomorph eggs. The aliens emerge and the result is bizarre and deadly hybrids, with humans trapped between the Predators and their prey. These deadly Xenomorph hybrids—some of which possess the ability to fly—swarm out of control and may prove more than either the Yautja or the humans can defeat.

Really enjoyed that

Pretty fun book I really enjoyed it. I especially like the fact that one half of the story is about the predators and their culture. The plot is pretty simple and the twist is surprising without being a big shock was very entertaining. I would recommend this book and enjoyed it as a light listening while I was woodworking.

I liked the story

But conservatives over on Amazon.com have a problem with it. Unless it's an audio drama, the VA will have to do all the voices, which may include children, men, women, old people, accents, etc.

They won't have a problem if there are no women in the book, but if it was all women, they will scream of woke culture.

Book reviews should just be about the book, but I keep seeing political comments, so here I am, taking part in it.

What can I say about the book? I liked it more than other Predator or Alien stories, and I'm too lazy to look back at the other stories to say hey, I rank this book ahead of or behind of, which would give you a better read on what to think of this book before buying, if we have the same taste in stories.

If you're a conservative, just don't by any future alien or predator stories, because women are bad, and Zula Hendricks is still out there. And I bet the fact that she's black, really triggers you, doesn't it?

Unique Story Elements. Disappointing Execution

Yvonne Navarro and Weston Ochse offer an action-heavy story that riffs on an interesting concept: Yautja seeding worlds with Xenomorph eggs so that they can later take adolescents for "blooding" expeditions (i.e. culturally essential hunting trips). To that matrix, they add variably supportable humans stuck in the middle and *flying* Xenomorphs (You read that right. Flying. Awesome).
Sadly, the action is quite predictable, the dialogue is Hollywood archetypal, and the description is capable but average.

Likewise unfortunate: Reader Kate Rudd reads too slowly, melodramatically, and with distinctly off-putting voice-acting.
To be certain, her diction, reading cadence, and timbre are professional - but over-the-top tone, shrill female voices, and cartoonish false-basso male voices render the book a challenging listen. I found that setting playback speed at 1.20X helped somewhat, but Blackstone Publishing clearly dropped the ball in casting Rudd.

'Alien vs Predator: Rift War' is an entertaining adventure for a SciFi-Horror fanboy like me to geek out on. I found that I could suspend disbelief pretty effectively - and.. despite subpar delivery - the audiobook rates 7 stars out of 10. If you can get it off of the 'Plus' menu, Do So - but Pass if they ask for a Credit.
