About this audiobook

A dramatic new Alien novel, as Weyland-Yutani seeks to recover from the failure of Hadley’s Hope, and successfully weaponize the Xenomorphs

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. For Dorian, this is the most unforgivable of sins. When found, the perpetrator will be eliminated with extreme prejudice. If unmasked, though, this person may be forced to destroy the entire station ... and everyone on board. That is, if the Xenomorphs don’t do the job first.

Ratings and reviews

I love the antagonist he reminds me of admiral thrawn in a way. more of an interpersonal way and how he deals with people he's an obvious sociopath/psychopath, and you can't go wrong with secret space stations carrying out illegal/volatile experiments. halfway through and seems like it's climaxing right about now, so I'll have to see what else it's got up it's sleeve. I'll see where it goes from here and update if I get a chance. so far so good though. so far it's better than Alien River of pain

Really amazing book. This was one of my favorite books I have read this year. Also do your self a favor and read the Rage War Trilogy as well it's also really good.

blew me away one of the best Ailen stories the characters are amazing well worth it if you enjoy Xenomorphs.
