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?

it could have been great but there was too much emphasis on the thoughts and feelings or the characters. I found a lot of sexism towards men too which ruined the great storyline

the epilogue saved this story.

Dreadful stilted narration - almost impossible to listen to which ruined an otherwise good albeiet meandering story. A bit of trite racist anti-british rhetoric snuck in at the end by the author was a tad disappointing, as that effort would have been better spent improving the overall pace and direction of the story. Not the best from this author. Her sequel to this however is genuinely excellent!

Disappointed

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).

Great story, terrible narator

The story was compelling at parts and included strong characters like Zula Hendricks. however I struggled with my attention to the story as the Narrator fell flat during most of it.

I think Shiromi Arserio should have done the narration for this type of story and characters.

I was disappointed that the miners didn't explore more of the underground ship. But we did learn more about the lore.

overall ok listen with some minor history lessons and new Xenomorphs

Good addition to the Alienverse, however...

Honestly the narrator repetetive down tone intonation at the end of every sentence became so irritating, I could not even get through the story and had to give up.

Poor story, irritating narrator
