About this listen

When Ellen Ripley finally returns to Earth, she learns that the planet LV-426 - now called Acheron - has been colonised. But LV-426 is where Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo found the original Xenomorph - the killing machine known as the Alien.

Protected by the Colonial Marines, the colonists seek to terraform the storm-swept planet. Two such residents are Anne and Russell Jorden, seeking a fortune that eluded them on Earth. On Acheron, Anne gives birth to the colony's first newborn - Rebecca Jordan, also known as Newt.

The wildcatters discover a vast, decaying spaceship. The horseshoe-shaped vessel is of particular interest to Weyland-Yutani and may be the answer to their dreams. But what Anne and Russ find onboard proves to be the stuff not of dreams but of nightmares.

Good story and great reading. I enjoy the different voices. It makes the book come alive. I am looking forward to the next book.

I Love Aliens!!

I’d love to see this story and Out of The Shadows both get a second story to continue these characters journeys to see how things panned out for each of them.

Enjoyed this story in the Alien Universe

Outstanding story if you love Aliens. I thought, given the movie, I knew how it would end, but really liked the surprise and the tie ins. This would have been a great movie that could have spun off its own arm for the series

Much Better than anticipated

Captivating story telling.

The narrator/story teller could of been better. His voice was terrible for the characters. Overall good story but should of had another narrator

Great story

although it is quite a disengaging act, for red blooded Americans, to grasp meaning beyond their own petty existence; I do wonder.

great storyline nice to finally get a really good description of the derelict spacecraft in the events on lv-426

great prequel to aliens

This story doesn’t really have a beginning or end of its own, so it can be a bit unsatisfying in some ways. But it was interesting and I enjoyed it nonetheless. Just keep in mind that you’ll probably want the other books as well. Out of the Shadows is well worth it.

Enjoyable, but transitory
