Publisher's Summary

Unconscious, unaware, Ripley is the last human survivor of the Nostromo, her shuttle lost in deep space. Meanwhile, the crew aboard the mining ship Marion, faces a catastrophic collision with one of its own dropships and has to contend with the alien infestation on board.

Marooned in a decaying orbit above the planetoid LV-178, the crew struggle to tackle the threat at hand, when an unexpected visitor makes her presence known.

An Alien Fan Companion!

Listening Tip: Nighttime - Headphones - High-Quality Download

Its a familiar friend to those who love the Alien franchise. This relatively short drama series is quite atmospheric, paying homage to the characters more so than the creature itself. Beautifully crafted and fun to listen to as it knits nicely into a personal recall or understanding of the characters and storylines from the films, novels, and even the video games.

The episodes are quite short (30 minutes) and although the introductions on each are weaved well into the ongoing dramatisation; the long credit roll at the conclusions disrupts those that want to listen to the production in its entirety.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I wasn't expecting much but I found myself making excuses to go for a drive, or a walk, so I could keep listening. I love finding a good (audio)book that surprises you and sweeps you away to another planet.

Great filler between Alien & Aliens

Awesome filler between the 1st to movies. How ever the Episode format was quite frustrating. Broke the flow of the story.
