Alien: Prototype

The Alien™ Series, Book 7

By: Tim Waggoner

Narrated by: Sarah Mollo-Christensen

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.

Ok but really muddled

If you don't mind a rehash of what has come before then this is pretty good. Unfortunately in an attempt to update the xenomorph we get an almost invincible one which just ends up being silly and frustrating. There is a terrible A.I. fight which is straight out of Terminator 2, sounds bizarre but think about it.
I thought Narrator was very good.

Great Narration, Story Very Slow in Places

This is a fairly standard, predictable Alien story, which is fine, but it seems to really get bogged down in places. The narration was great but I just couldn't get into it.

great

loved it 😊 so much . More please soon as you might now okay 😗

Huge “Alien” Fan

I loved this audio, I love the whole Alien Franchise! And Sarah’s narration was fabulous, she has a very soothing but expressive tone to her voice! Will have to look for more audios that she narrates. Only downside to this audio… I was hoping it was a series…

It’s great

Love the readers voice. She’s has a good tone and pace and keeps you engaged. Very well done.

Awesome story

Loved the story, and the narrator as well. I would of loved if they added sound effects and if they made the story longer, but it was perfect. I liked the creativity specially with the synthetics, how they expanded the scope of the capabilities of a synthetic.
I really hope they continue with this story line, I cant wait to hear if zula and Amanda reunites and continued their fight against the Xenomorphs along with Davis.
Overall great story!!!

Another great story from the Alien universe

When Alien's and humans meet, it can only go wrong, for humans in the long run if you can run fast enough.

Kept you interested.

I am a huge Alien fan. This was a great book. Enjoyed it. It was very descriptive and easy to follow.

Fast paced Alien romp

I enjoyed this story a lot. As many other alien stories, it starts slow and then builds into a frenzied fight for survival against a nearly invincible enemy. Great performance by the reader!

Videogame logic

Anyone with any knowledge of computer science, genetics, or epidemiology would have to struggle to suspend disbelief. Yeah, it’s a fictional story about an alien that absorbs viral DNA, but listening to a video game style fight between two synthetics and a colony AI IMMEDIATELY followed by the protagonists believing it’s ok to move forward because the air is 98% free of viruses (wait, so 2% of the air is VIRUS???) made me wish I hadn’t invested my leisure time in this book.
