About this listen

Political conflicts on Earth erupt into open hostilities between their colonies in space, with Xenomorphs as the ultimate weapon.

On Earth, political tensions boil over between the United Americas, Union of Progressive Peoples, and Three World Empire. Conflict spreads to the outer fringes, and the UK colony of New Albion breaks with the Three World Empire. This could lead to a Colony War.

Trapped in the middle are journalist Cher Hunt, scientist Chad McLaren, and the synthetic Davis. Cher, seeking to discover who caused the death of her sister, Shy Hunt, uncovers a far bigger story. McLaren’s mission, fought alongside his wife, Amanda Ripley, is to stop the militarization of the deadliest weapon of all—the Xenomorph.

Their trail leads to a drilling facility on LV-187. Someone or something has destroyed it, killing the personnel, and the British are blamed. Colonial forces arrive, combat erupts, then both groups are overwhelmed by an alien swarm. Their only hope may lie with the Royal Marines unit known as “God’s Hammer”.

It's the cold, profit-hungry, power-mad Weyland-Yutani we all love to hate. But smothered in every British stereotype you can think of. As a Brit, I can tell you it gets old pretty quickly. I found myself rolling my eyes regularly. They're drinking tea. They're reminiscing about D-day. They're talking about having the Bulldog spirit. Whoever wrote this just tried to cram in everything they could remember about London during the 1930's and 1940's. So lots of WWII references. And, oddly, cultural references that stand no chance of being remembered in 50 years let alone the time frame we're talking about here... Albert Square, for example, is the fictional setting of a very popular British soap opera. I'm not sure why they went to such extremes. But, at the very least the author should have tried to explain why so many old / ancient reference points were being used. Perhaps there was a revival of all things considered British for [insert plausible reason here]. But, it needed explaining.

If you can get past the stereotypes - a big ask - then this does what most of the Alien novels do. It's a decent way to spend some time whilst doing other bits and bobs.
