About this listen

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.

I never really got into the films, I just found they were too gory and I wasn't able to follow the storyline. So coming from someone who is not an Alien fan, this dramatisation was thoroughly enjoyable. It was so well performed that I could visualise everthing. I would love more stories performed in this way. It reminds me of what radio plays would have been like before television. The good thing about audio versions is that you can enjoy them while gardening, washing up, going for a walk etc. I ended up downloading the next two - Sea of Sorrows, River of Pain - and they were also an enjoyable listen.

Didn't like the films but thoroughly enjoyed this!
