Story
Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles, varied cultures, and conquests, vibrant until the demons rose and spread relentless destruction. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails, and dreaded “tooth-tongues” raged through the lowlands, killing 90 percent of the planet’s population. Terrified survivors fled to hidden mountain keeps where they eke out a meager existence. When a trio of young warriors discovers a new weapon, they see a chance to end this curse. To save humanity, they must fight.

Story
The Covenant mission is the most ambitious endeavor in the history of Weyland-Yutani. A ship bound for Origae-6, carrying 2,000 colonists beyond the limits of known space, this is a make-or-break investment for the corporation - and for the future of all mankind. Yet there are those who would die to stop the mission. As the colony ship hovers in Earth orbit, several violent events reveal a deadly conspiracy to sabotage the launch.

Story
As a child Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating - and waiting for suitable prey.

Predator ships stream into human space in unprecedented numbers. The Colonial Marines, controlled by Weyland-Yutani, respond to the incursion, thus entering the Rage War. This terrifying assault by the Yautja cannot go unchallenged, yet the cost of combat is high. Predators are master combatants, and each encounter yields a high body count. Then, when Lt. Johnny Mains and his marines - the VoidLarks - enter the fray, they discover an enemy deadlier than any could imagine.

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.

Publisher's Summary
The critically acclaimed author of Alien: The Cold Forge takes listeners to a rogue colony where terror lurks in the tunnels of an abandoned Weyland-Yutani complex.
“Shy” Hunt and the tech team from McAllen Integrations thought they’d have an easy job - set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, built on the abandoned ruins of a complex known as “Charybdis”. There are just two problems: The colony belongs to the Iranian state, so diplomacy is strained at best, and the complex is located above a series of hidden caves that contain deadly secrets. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen Integrations crew is imprisoned, accused as spies, but manages to send out a distress signal - to the Colonial Marines.

Genuinely diferent angle on the Alien series
Enjoyed the book. Storyline got me in. Enjoyed the journeys of the lead characters. The single paragraph Epilogue didn’t make any sense. Maybe I missed something

good sometimes but...
At its best the techy IT dimension adds some level of realism to the story, the author must be from an IT background (although not sure we'd be using the same IT protocols and hardware such as "server racks" in 200 years time! The story starts with an interesting premise, an Iranian colony has been established on a far away planet, US colonial marines arrive on a secret mission and you can imagine the geo-political implications. A hapless group of newly arrived independent US contractors who are there for a maintenance contract are caught up in the machinations (throw back to the Iranian US hostage crisis) If the story stopped right there it would have been genuinely original however gratuitously throwing in franchise xenomorphs into the story without enough care for suspense and mystery ends up degrading the story unfortunately. There is a tipping point in the story where I didn't care what happened to the main characters which is always a bad sign. The villain is psychotic OTT but also funny sometimes , "I'm going to hand you your c@ck back to you in a hotdog roll". Also the story doesn't allow the unique elements to develop except as a wafer thin stereotyped background. The Marcellus is an interesting addition (but NO spoilers). Overall the story had potential to be much better , the Cold forge is a superior story in my opinion and with a better villain.

Not quite "cold forge"
New story blended with hints to the previous "Cold forge". (No spoilers)
All in all I enjoyed the book. I have listened to it twice now. It had some great ideas, but never gripped me quite like "cold forge" did.
The writer enjoys giving us a snarky female protagonist, which I dont mind. As they usually are in for a hell of a ride.
This story, although it had some good characters, missed the mark with the human antagonist. Cold forge's Dorian was just fantastic and made the Novel a masterpiece. So for me, that set the bar pretty high and Charybdis did not quite measure up in that department.

Thank you, Alex!
I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. Alex writes another love letter to the alien universe and includes amazing references that only the biggest alien fans would recognise. Alex ties these novels so well into the franchise! There's the Prometheus, the UPP, Siegson and more.
He also keeps you guessing who will survive...
I hope there's another novel coming!

An outstanding book
I’ve read and listened to many Alien stories. Some are very good, most are decent, some are terrible. Alex’s work on the Alien universe is simply incredible and by a good margin the best stories since the original two films. Engaging, complex and perfectly paced. Love your work, Alex.
