Publisher Description
A new Alien novel perfect for fans of Alien: Romulus, now available on Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Fandango at Home
After narrowly escaping a Xenomorph attack and crash landing on the wrong planet, former military man Chris Temple just wants a peaceful life with his daughters. He just needs to deal with the brewing civil war and a Xenomorph on the loose.
War will always find a man like you.
This Alien story begins where most end: with a xenomorph loose on a damaged spaceship hurtling through space. Once a highly decorated marine, Chris Temple, a recently widowed single father to two young daughters, Jane, 11, and Emma, 8, is onboard. Despite his particular set of skills, Chris doesn’t get involved in the fight with the alien, instead focusing on keeping his children safe as the ship comes in for a crash landing.
The family land safely on an idyllic outpost planet, where Chris is told that the ship has been destroyed beyond recognition and nothing could have survived the crash. That’s only the first lie. Chris and his daughters love their new life, but something doesn’t feel right. Chris is a paranoid type, but just because he’s paranoid, doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
There are nasty surprises in store as Chris investigates the web of lies and conspiracies. After leaving a ruined Earth, it seems Chris and his daughters have crash-landed on a planet on the verge of all-out civil war. Chris will have to call on the battle skills he never wanted to use again in order to protect his daughters, deal with violence-hungry marines, and battle the xenomorph that’s killing people regardless of which side of the civil war they’re on.
Customer Reviews
Not what I was expecting.
First of all, this was narrated by a man, and there’s nothing worse in an audiobook than listening to a man trying to sound like a woman when he’s trying to impersonate them.
2nd, the main character has been made to be some kind of super soldier that can handle any situation, and take down anyone who gets on his way, very unrealistic.
3rd, how many times can you say, “It broke his heart”..!!??
4th, this has very little to do with Xenomorphs, and more to do with a squabbling colony.
And 5th…A PULSE RIFLE IS NOT A FLAMETHROWER..!!!
You screwed up on this one.
Give us more like “Prototype”, “Colony Wars”, and “Enemy of My Enemy”.
And have Shiromi Arserio narrate it, she does an outstanding job.
