About this listen

A groundbreaking Latinx Aliens novel by a rising star Latina author, featuring the fan-favorite character PFC Jenette Vasquez from the hit movie Aliens and the family she is forced to leave behind

Even before the doomed mission to Hadley’s Hope on LV-426, Jenette Vasquez had to fight to survive. Born to an immigrant family with a long military tradition, she looked up to the stars, but life pulled her back down to Earth—first into a street gang, then prison. The Colonial Marines proved to be Vasquez’s way out—a way that forced her to give up her twin children. Raised by Jenette’s sister, those children, Leticia and Ramon, had to discover their own ways to survive. Leticia by following her mother’s path into the military, Ramon into the corporate hierarchy of Weyland-Yutani. Their paths would converge on an unnamed planet which some see as a potential utopia, while others would use it for highly secretive research. Regardless of whatever humans might have planned for it, however, Xenomorphs will turn it into a living hell.

9 hours of character building which largely has nothing to do with the the last 2 hours. less than an hour of actual action

if you want aliens. don't waste your time

More coming of age/equal rights and current culture description than Aliens. Some might like it just fine perhaps.
It is somehow taking the "given" strong woman (Ripley or Vasquez from movies) and explaining things that don't need explaining. Well, unless you still live in the 60s which many cultures still seem to do.

Could be good for some

it doesn't get interesting till last 2 chapters, unless you need yo go to sleep I wouldn't bother.

so boring

I struggled to listen to this due to the narrator. Perhaps with a different narrator the story would have taken on more life and interest.

Interesting in part but lost its way. Narrator doesn’t help.

the lack of character creation in Leed character left me uninvested in the story. when it came down to the actual fighting of the xenomorphs, there was nothing there the first 4 hours I cannot remember then the last one hour I was let down. I was looking forward to this book

poor poor character creation. lack of alien
