Once again, reluctant hero Commissar Cain is catapulted into glory in the fourth instalment of this tremendously popular series. Escaping from a disastrous space battle, the commissar and his malodorous sidekick Jurgen crash-land behind enemy lines. Even the sly Cain can't avoid a straight fight this time, as the only way out is to round up what few troops they can find and fight their way back to safety. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of barbaric alien orks stand in their way.

Great overall, though the accent given to Muldoon -who is supposedly a white Kenyan- starts out as Afrikaans (white South African) and switches to a more generalized African accent.

Story
Equipped with the entirety of human knowledge, a sentient ship is launched on a last-ditch journey to find a new home for civilization. Trillions of miles. Tens of thousands of years. In the space between, the AI has plenty of time to think about life, the vastness of the universe, everything it was meant to do, and—with a perspective created but not limited by humans—what it should do.

As title. The performance was outstanding, but the story itself was bland. With the ending it has, the story could have been shorter and not drag on like it did.

While grim dark, the Ciaphas Cain series has more humor than other books or series. It’s refreshing to say the least.

With the failure of Hadley's Hope, Weyland-Yutani has suffered a devastating setback - the loss of the Aliens they aggressively sought to exploit. Yet there's a reason the Company has risen to the top of the food chain. True to form, they have a redundancy already in place: the facility known as "The Cold Forge". Remote station RB-232 has become their greatest asset in weaponizing the Xenomorphs. However, when Dorian Sudler is sent to RB-232 to assess their progress, he discovers that there's a spy aboard - someone who doesn't necessarily act in the company's best interests.

Terrible story carried by a great narrator
Reviewed: 12-01-22
This book sounds like the author made a list of tropes from other Alien media, and then slapped a story on it. The female lead keeps flip flopping between ruthless and overly emotional, and male lead starts as a bad caricature of sociopath company man and ends with him being even more of a caricature. He’s a copy of Patrick Bateman in all but name.
As for the story, it’s too busy. There’s three separate characters all out to betray the rest of the crew, and some how no one catches on. The male lead shows up with the ridiculous plot point of cleaning house to save money, but seems more intent on dominating or sleeping with the staff and then firing everyone. And finally the story just drags on at the end when it’s down to the two leads. It goes back and forth, with cliffhangers over who’s going to live and who dies, it just got repetitive.
The only good thing about this was the narrator. He absolutely carried this trash story through to the end.

Story
Father of cyberpunk William Gibson’s original script for Alien III, written in 1987 as a sequel to Aliens, never made it to our screens, although it went on to achieve cult status among fans as the third instalment that might have been after being leaked online. This terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatisation - directed by the multi-award-winning Dirk Maggs - is the chance to experience William Gibson’s untold story and its terrifying, claustrophobic and dark encounters between humans and aliens, as a completely immersive audio experience.

Skip Alien 3 for this version
Reviewed: 07-07-19
Definitely skip the poor excuse of a story that is Alien 3. Alan Dean Foster can work magic (love his adaptions), but noone could salvage Aliens 3.
I am a long time fan of the Alien series and also a huge fan of Gibsons. So this is a match made in heaven. Additionally, this audio drama hooked me so well with it production values, I got an actual Audible account just to keep getting more of Maggs work on the Alien series.
The only reason I dinged it on performance, is that towards the beginning, Mr. Biehn sounds very rough, and it takes about 45 minutes for him to start sounding like Hicks again (having rewatched Aliens prior to starting this). At one point it sounds like hes talking out of the side of his mouth. By the end though he is in fine form.
