About this listen

Led by former Navy SEAL Victor Seymour, an elite team of mercenaries are sent by the CIA to rescue hostages and secure data from an under-siege top-secret island facility. But upon arrival, they discover ravaged military equipment, a mass grave, and a platoon of hostile forces already in retreat. As the team investigates, they uncover the secret that the island has contained for centuries.

For the first time, modern man will come face-to-face with a being from beyond the stars. A member of a deadly intergalactic invasive species, the beast is ravenous, cunning, lacking emotion or empathy. With his team dwindling, Seymour must fight to keep the beast from leaving the island, and to save humanity from the terrifying extraterrestrial known as The Pilot.

Get to the choppa!! Oh no, wrong one. Hard to write a story about an alien fighting an elite team without comparing to Predator. But a good listen with good characters

Easy listen, plausible but ultimately I kept thinking it's Predator. Also the voice actor keept ending sentences with the same tone which becoming irritating.

Poor man's Predator!

It doesn't hide what it is. It's unashamedly Expendables meets Predator. Not my usual kind of book but it was nicely paced and enjoyable. Well put together..
