Summary
When an industrial spy steals a Xenomorph egg, former Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks must prevent an alien from killing everyone on an isolated colony planet.
Venture, a direct rival to the Weyland-Yutani corporation, will accept any risk to crush the competition. Thus, when a corporate spy "acquires" a bizarre, leathery egg from a hijacked vessel, she takes it directly to the Venture testing facility on Jericho 3.
Though unaware of the danger it poses, the scientists there recognize their prize's immeasurable value. Early tests reveal little, however, and they come to an inevitable conclusion. They need a human test subject....
Enter Zula Hendricks.
A member of the Jericho 3 security staff, Colonial Marines veteran Zula Hendricks has been tasked with training personnel to deal with anything the treacherous planet can throw their way. Yet nothing can prepare them for the horror that appears - a creature more hideous than any Zula has encountered before.
Unless stopped, it will kill every human being on the planet.

It’s ok.....
Story is minimal, prose lacks description but still hits those nostalgic spots for the die hard Xeno fan.
Narration is good but lacks depth for some characters, voices created are rather similar.
But a nice way to pass time on the dull commutes to and from work

A good gripping story
An excellent story brilliantly narrated, a great addition to the Alien story left with an open ended line for a follow on

Another Alien story that shows people never learn.
Spoilers... we are back to the premise of just the one Alien picking people off, but this this infected with an extremely dangerous disease. The tension ramps up in places but you just know that most of the soldiers are going to get killed off before they bring down the creature. Of course there has to be a little twist at the end. The performance was good but I tend to listen at higher speed as I have a lot of books to get through. Not the first Alien book I have done and it certainly won't be the last.

An original twist on a loved universe
The introduction of new dimensions to the alien's tactics and life cycle made this really interesting! Classic Alien setting, but with something fresh. Great reading and a great book.

Disappointed Aliens fan 🙃
I'm a huge fan of all the films. Most of the spin-off books and audio productions have been good to excellent, but this story just isn't up to (my) standards 🙃

Tense filled story
It's not Alien, or Aliens but is a good story. Good to hear a female narrator in sci-fi for a great time.

Not bad
This is a bit graphic in places but it’s quite interesting and not bad for an included download.

could've been better...
The story concept was good but I felt it could've been developed more/better written. There was a lot of unnecessary repition, especially when it came to reminding us that the synthetics were such - became quite tedious and felt like it was filling a word count. The narration wasn't particularly varied for each character and sounded like AI/monotone at times. Could've made a decent movie with some better writing. I enjoyed this more once I got past the first couple of chapters, worth a listen if you enjoy the franchise.

Didn't need the disease
A good story, but didn't need the disease aspect to the Alien. Still enjoyed it though.

Zula Hendricks is a breath of fresh air!
There are many factors that make is absolutely fantastic;
The story itself is refreshing, a new take on the xenomorph we've all come to fear in this sci-fi horror genre and the opportunity to peer into the perspective of so many characters that proved to be hugely influential to the developing plot was very engaging.
What I thoroughly enjoyed above all else was Zula Hendricks, her no nonsense approach and especially the long awaited continuation to her journey from the Defiance saga.
Some things never change though; Greed, over-zealous ambitions and rampant underestimation, which unsurprisingly leads to lethal consequences.
These are not negatives however, to a steadfast fan of the franchise, I am already aware of the impending disaster but I never tire of finding out how it will happen, what will be the cost and who, if anyone, will make it out alive.
**Spoiler**
My only big issue was Tamar. Felt like a far-fetched conclusion for a once intelligent character. She knocked out a tooth and then just grabbed it?? She could and would never.
