Another solid Audible audio-drama adaptation of the Alien franchise. A bit of language throughout

Why the heck did they not make this into what became the movie Alien III
This story is better by far, a true sequel to the classic Aliens. It also sets up the whole Prometheus arc too.
*facepalm*
We will never know, but for fans of Gibson and the Alien franchise this is worth a listen.

Not even remotely interesting or compelling.

I'll give this one a third star because of the Audible performance being very well done, but the story was just plain boring for me. The suspense moments just didn't grasp or shake me really.

The concept is very cool. An audio drama; the thought makes me think of HG Wells and War of the Worlds. Instead of narration, the story is told with a full cast dialogue, sound effects, and music. The overall effect was a fun listening experience. I can only hope my future audible originals are as good.

I would give the performance five stars, the story itself just three stars.

It's alright. Audiodrama is top quality but as far as plot goes it's sometimes confusing. In our time "commies" should be a "good" faction to WY dystopia.
