The action-packed official adaptation of Alien: Isolation and a revealing look into the lives of Ellen Ripley and her daughter, Amanda Ripley.

The product of a troubled and violent youth, Amanda Ripley is hellbent to discover what happened to her missing mother, Ellen Ripley. She accepts an assignment with a Weyland-Yutani team being sent to retrieve the Nostromo flight recorder from space station Sevastopol, which they find out of control due to a Xenomorph that was brought there with the recorder. A conspiracy unfolds, revealing ever greater threats - including an entire Xenomorph hive. Over the course of the novel, Amanda’s history is revealed beginning with her childhood. Her father Alex’s battle with alcoholism caused her mother, Ellen Ripley, to sue for divorce. Ellen was forced to take off-world assignments, ultimately leading to her assignment aboard the Nostromo. Left behind, Amanda became determined to find out what happened to her mother, learning more and more about Ellen and the events that led up to her disappearance. Along the way, Amanda develops a fast friendship with Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks (from the Alien: Defiance Dark Horse series).

I have been consistently stoked with every book in the Alien canon thus far, and I have to say I was pretty stoked to get to one about daughter Ripley. Although you kinda know what's going to happen in these books, and they're definitely not disappointing for that, the authors do a great job of keeping things interesting, weaving in twists and turns and revealing new bits of lore/history/fictional fact re the alien universe and wtf The Company and everyone has been doing. Sometimes it can be a bit of a HF but it's awesome. I recommend listening to all the books in order though. I've listened out of order mostly, except for the Covenant ones and Prototype and Isolation. There's information re the greater arch of the Aliens that makes more sense in order. Also, don't skip any just coz you've seen the movies. Also, I wish they'd make big budget flicks outta all of these. Shiiit. I the Covenant 1&2 are my favourites, and Charybdis. I also recommend Bug Hunt - a book of shorts from the Alien universe, and all the audio dramas Audible has put together. It's so awesome to have all this juicy content as a massive fan. And included in membership too. What a Gas!!! Happy hunting, mthrfckrs!!!

great to see that badassery is genetic

I was totally enthralled with the story. Amanda Ripley is one tough cookie. The whole audio book was written and performed extremely well.

Fantastic

well worth the listen if you are an aliens fan. This story explains a lot about Amanda Ripley's backstory. Sad but we all know what happened to her mother.

read beautifully and closed some gaps in the Alien story

Not as bad as some of the reviews indicated. Amanda's character is very annoying but otherwise the story is fine.

ok

Proper storytelling and excellent narration. Fascinating background if you've played the Creative Assembly game of the same title. Plenty of the novelisations in the Alien franchise are sub par, it's a relief to listen to a thoughtful, character-rich, v well narrated text.
