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.

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.

A true adventure

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.

politics, America bad, Islam good, not alien.
The story is sacrificed for woke politics and exploration of Islam. Americans are evil, every woman amazing, every person of colour idealized. all military, evil. Loaded with way too many modern woke politics without any understanding of what made Ellen Ripley such a badass in the first place.
Skip it.

Could it be more tedious?
Gave up after about an hour and a half of uninteresting characters and nothing happening. The backstory and setup just isn't interesting enough to suffer through. The performances are all fine but their characters are completely uninteresting stereotypes. If there had been some action to make it engaging, I could have put up with the dull characters, but the plot and characterizations seem to be competing to see which could make me fall asleep behind the wheel of my car faster.

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.

I felt the acid burns
The first few hours were fairly bland to set the scene.
It’s totally worth it though, once the action starts it’s full on.
I even cringed in pain listening to the acid burn descriptions.
Great job in keeping the franchise going

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.

Solid entry into the franchise
Any entry into an existing franchise has hurdles to overcome as well as freedoms to grasp. This book is a solid entry, helping flesh out the franchise setting. One of the departures from the standard narrative is that this book presents the United Americas Colonial Marines as an antagonist force, with their Captain as one of the most hate-worthy villains I've seen (heard) written. It also follows many standards of the franchise - almost nobody surviving, for example - and gives an interesting perspective on interstellar politics during the time in which the book is set.
The story is very well-written, though the author lingers so much and so long over descriptions of smoking (far more than simple mentions of the act) that I have to assume it's a fetish. If you're sensitive to that particular subject, please go into it with some care. The story IS worth struggling through those unnecessarily elaborate depictions, if you can.
Other than that there are issues of physics that would probably not work in the real world, but that's pretty common for most sci-fi settings. The Aliens franchise has never claimed to be hard sci-fi anyway.

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
