About this listen

As human colonies are obliterated by the dark pathogen and hideous monstrosities proliferate, a family of scavengers find an amnesiac who may hold the secrets to the forces tearing apart the galaxy.

Life amongst the stars is brutal. Human colonies are being obliterated by a dark pathogen launched from mysterious ships, which turns whole populations into hordes of ravenous monsters. And no one knows what happened to the Jackals, the cadre of soldiers hunting down the perpetrators of these atrocities.

When a family of scavengers recover the amnesiac Mae Hendricks amongst the wreckage of an unidentified ship, they bring a world of pain down on themselves and the civilians of Guelph Station. Mae doesn’t know where she is from or her true nature, nor that she is being hunted by vicious adversaries.

Mae’s past could reveal the conspiracy that is tearing the galaxy apart, but may well unleash a tide of snarling terrors....

Entertaining, but leaves loose ends..

Entertaining story following Inferno's Fall in the current Alien Novelizations, Performance by Narrator Massoud was wonderful. Only issues I have are loose ends left from Inferno's Fall that aren't brought up or explored further in the story. This could hint at the Alien Film Universe also exploring those things with recent announcements regarding TV Shows and Movies. Overall Great listen.

Amazing introduction to new faces.

Amazing introductions and familiar faces. Very little growth from there. Cool alien design introduced, nothing done with it.

Just not a good story.

I am a LONG time reader and watcher of Alien books and movies. Born in the 60's, I grew up with the original cult classics. These newer books are just not well thought out stories and they have drifted way off course with the Alien storyline. I have read and or listened to all the Alien books. The storyline has been watered down and needs to be refocused. Maybe it's time for it to come to a end??

This is a poorly written story that really struggles to stay on target. The plot is vague. I was hoping for better.

Just couldn't get into it

Really didn't like the narrator, just not for me. Couldn't get into the story at all. Maybe I'm missing out on something but I ended up returning it after about a third of the way through. Most of these Alien novels I enjoy but there have been a few lately that just don't appeal me, which is completely fine. I was just looking forward to it.

Alien, the lack thereof

Throughout the first few hours all I could think was “Ate there going to be any Aliens in this Alien story?” I have a little over six hours left to go and I’m not sure I even want to bother finishing this installment.

Also aside from the lack of Xenomorphs being in the story other than the occasional honorable mention this story skipped around all over the place back and forth from the past to the present and all roads in between so it was rather difficult to follow.

Maybe if it had some redeeming qualities like action, intrigue, and suspense that wouldn’t have been so bad. I’ve listened to every audiobook in the Alien franchise there is pretty much and I hate to say it but this was the wordy one ever.

I couldn’t even give the narrator any more than three stars because she just didn’t bother to give any of the characters in the story their own persona in any way. This installment is just incredibly disappointing.
