Summary
A gargantuan horseshoe-shaped ship appears over the mining planet Shānmén, unleashing a black rain of death that creates Xenomorph-like monsters worse than the darkest of nightmares.
As war breaks out among the colonies, a huge ship appears over the UPP mining planet Shānmén, releasing a horror that yields hideous transformations. Rescue is too far away, and the colonists’ only hope appears in the form of the vessel Righteous Fury. It carries the Jackals—an elite mix of former Colonial Marines and Royal Marines. Led by Zula Hendricks, the Jackals seek to rescue the few survivors from the depths of the planet, but have they arrived on time?

Great story, narrator poor
I think I would have enjoyed this story so much more. The narrator is so dull and monotone, appearing to want to finish as quickly as possible but with none of the impetus and thrill of the story. The interesting characters and situations are lost to the blandness of the reading. I was regularly having to replay parts as I was tuning her out. It almost ruined the story and annoyed me often in the first half. Zula Hendricks is a great Alien character I was happy to see return and I hope she and the Jackals return soon. There is a great story brewing I would love to follow.
I'm dyslexic so audible is my means of reading, for me this choice of narrator was a huge let down.

Great story, terrible narator
I've really enjoyed the story arc so far, but really struggled to listen to this book purely because of the narration. I would have enjoyed it much more with someone else (sorry).

Ignore Some Reviews
Initially, from reading the reviews, I was sceptical and almost gave this book a miss. However, I am a big fan of the Alien franchise, and frankly will listen to anything Xenonorph related.
Upon concluding the book, I felt, the reviews refering to the political leaning of this entry were a little harsh.
The Alien story has always been about the Big Corp leaning on the "little guy", with the Aliens being the additional horror aspect breaking that. So, I was confused as to why reviews put this book down for following this formula.
If youre an Alien fan you will enjoy. I would have rated it a little higher, but I have never really been a fan of the Engineer concept from Prometheus onwards. But is was fun.

Really enjoyed this one
I really enjoyed this one.
Ignore the people who say it is the same. They all are to a certain extent.
This one had a few new twists and sets the series just for an interesting new direction.

Enjoyable night time listening
The synthetic daughter of Davis is an excellent character and horror and tragedy abound as mysteries unfold and survivors try to elude the various xenomorphic mutations . ..an imaginative world and future with lots of descriptive pleasure. I am there with the Jackels (marines) , then deep in the mines , but no face huggers or queen .,so a bit more promethius than Alien . Thanks for an expressive interesting escapist read

Didn't finish, repetitive pattern narration
Part way through chapter 7 whilst driving, I realised once again I didn't know what was going on.
Mid-Mid-Mid-Hi-Loooooooow
Mid-Mid-Mid-Hi-Loooooooow
Mid-Mid-Mid-Hi-Loooooooow
That's all my mind would hear, the narrator's repetitive speech pattern, often through characters spoken words stopping the differentiation.
There were moments showing what she was capable of, when there was hurrying or swearing in anger. It would break the sleep spell, but I'd be lost as to what happened up to that point.
obviously capable, but called it in that week and defaulted to 'putting the kids to bed' voice.
I can't comment much on the story.

very good for fans of Prometheus or Covenant.
I didn't realise how many Alien books there are. I really love alien to the point where I collect memorabilia so I suppose this review is relevant to people like me who have seen the film's many many times. So if you have an love for the film series then you will love this book. what is best about it, without a doubt, is that it takes into consideration the new films i.e. Prometheus and Covenant. It has a lot of "artificial people" (androids/robots) and it's just very well read and constructed. It's an alien thing so you of course get all the normal monsters plus the new ones, and there is a leaning towards the topic of AI generally. I really enjoyed this as it transported me back to the alien universe without the inconsistencies that are in the books that were written before Prometheus and after Ressurection. I've got every single alien title on Audible and this is the best so far. Great fun listening to it on an early night - preferably on a stormy dark night. it's a bedtime read and not one for the car as you can't concentrate on the book and the road. There's a lot of content and detail you will miss if you are only partially listening and it's a waste of a good book to do anything other than plan your listening time and really get into the atmosphere the fans of the alien franchise love.

Great book
Loved this, the whole story to the and the inclusion of the let’s say ‘beings’ got me hooked as there isn’t much lure in other books.

Not impressed
As a fan of the series that has gone over all other book, this is a mediocre one, in some details:
- Starts with a bit of interesting world building, got me interested where it can go, and then it falls flat. This could have been so much better, I can’t express how disappointed I felt at the end by the story, there is a good element at the end, but overall a letdown. Also why in the world the focus is now more on the terrible Prometheus story-line, than on aliens. How can you run out of idea how to make Aliens interesting, the Prometheus should be forgotten.
- The reader was so monotonous, that this is one of the best books to put you to sleep, honestly this could have been done better by a random person.
- And on a note, once again to many references to current culture and countries, as per a review of a previous book, the world would have changed in the future

Excellent
Great to follow Zulu and her continuing storyline. The new characters are well written. Can’t wait for the next instalment.
