15 predator films, abridged

This is an anthology, in case you did not read the description. That is broadly also the biggest problem with this title. The predator films are broadly formulaic but each film is individually long enough for character development, sub-plots, and other things to spread out the 'Jason Voorhees from another planet' equation. the stories are all basically what you get if you condense the predator film into a 45 minute short film and then repeat it 13 times.

Each story is very well written and enjoyable but this is just not a book you should try and consume in an extended sitting. If I had come to this epiphany sooner, maybe I would have scored it differently but I think that unlikely. The performances were done well but none of them were especially memorable. I think this could have been improved by the sprinklng of sound effects or some background music in some scenes for better immersion.

There are a few interesting breaks in the formula but not nearly enough. There is some expansion on the Yatuja lore/culture that diverges from the established material Dark Horse set down when they had the intecetual property rights. I am not sure I agree with the alterations but I am unsure how many people are even aware of it and if it is a problem for the broader audience.

The low story score is stongly due to the overall sameness of each story and the need to incorporate some background sound effects is what lowers the performance score. Not truly a bad audiobook but not a great one either. If you like the Predator film franchise, I recommend this while it's free, or if it is one a big sale, but not worth the full retail price.

An excellent fan-verse collection

Love the way each story is of different time and place not all in human pov

I’ve listened to all other Predator books

Didn’t like that several stories had the Predator killing people that weren’t threats. This doesn’t match with lore and was intended to spicy up the story, but changed the culture of the Predator. The focus on female characters became distracting. Love strong female protagonists (Ripley!), but this intensional focus of female leads and readers was distracting. Probably the worst Predator book I’ve listened to.

Needed better narrator on a few of them

Had to skip a cpl like little miss nightmare due to narrator trying to be too dramatic..fake voice too..but the others were great..they read to you so you can follow the story and keep your attention..

I want a good story not woke stuff about how good immigrants are or how rednecks are hanging out shooting guns and drinking or gun owners being so irresponsible.

Predator anthology Vol.2

These story's take place in the future most and approximately the present. And mostly a collection of female perspectives hunters. Check them out when you can.

Great collection

I was enthralled by most of the stories in this collection. The piece by Jonathan Maberry had great bits of humor to it. I think my favorite was either Bitter Hunt or Monster, but were well written.
