When the Colonial Marines set out after their deadliest prey, the Xenomorphs, it's what Corporal Hicks calls a bug hunt - kill or be killed. Here are eighteen all-new stories of such "close encounters", written by many of today's most extraordinary authors.

Set during the events of all four Alien films, sending the Marines to alien worlds, to derelict space settlements, and into the nests of the universe's most dangerous monsters, these adventures are guaranteed to send the blood racing - one way or another.

Full list of authors include Paul Kupperberg, Dan Abnett, Rachel Caine, Yvonne Navarro, Christopher Golden, Matt Forbeck, Ray Garton, Weston Ochse, David Farland, Larry Correia, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Briane Keene, Heather Graham, Mike Resnick, Marina J. Lostetter, Jonathan Mayberry, James A. Moore, Scott Sigler, and Tim Lebbon.

I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this book.

The stories were incredible. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Fast pace and beautiful. I recommend this book to any Alien fan for sure.

Uneven but mostly good

As you would expect from a collection of short stories, it's uneven. But generally I enjoyed most of them. Unfortunately it got off to an inauspicious start with "Chance Encounter", but immediately went uphill with "Broken". My 2 favorites - "Broken" and "A More Dangerous Prey" had similar themes of telling familiar stores from a different perspective. "Broken" has the added bonus of absolutely fantastic narration by (I assume?) R.C.Bray (although in truth narrating "A More Dangerous Prey" was a daunting task pulled off well). Other favorites include "Blowback", "Exterminators", "Darkness Falls" and especially "Zero to Hero". Fun listen all in all.

An enjoyable romp in the aliens world

Fun and engaging stories, different perspectives, offering different levels of thrills. All performances were quite well done.

ouch

While not the only reader with this tendency, the last was the most difficult to finish with. The long breathy overly drawn out words, especially at ends of sentences, were downright painfull. Dramatic.. no. Annoying.. massively! Think from now on I need to choose a book with a single narrator and trust the sample will show if there is a problem reader

A Great Listen

An exellent addition to the world of Aliens. The only chapter I didn't like was Chapter 8 as it felt out of place within the rest of the Aliens universe. On its own it wouldn't have been bad but it felt too disconnected from the franchise for me to fully enjoy. It didn't take away from the overall experience though.

Some of the narrators of course were pretty rough

Not a badd book a lot of interesting stories I think they could have done better a little more create is but good .

Very enjoyable

Action packed and lots of fun! I really enjoyed the stories. I didn't expect a lot going in and ended up really surprised and entertained.

Not so hot

The are a couple of 2 star stories, most of them are 3star ,a couple are 4star, and one is 5star. buy at your own risk.

hard to rate

some stories were great others.. not so much. some narrators were fantastic. others were pretty rough

good book

it was a good book overall some of the stories bett ed r than others but good all together
