Alien: River of Pain

By: Christopher Golden

Narrated by: Jeff Harding

When Ellen Ripley finally returns to Earth, she learns that the planet LV-426 - now called Acheron - has been colonised. But LV-426 is where Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo found the original Xenomorph - the killing machine known as the Alien.

Protected by the Colonial Marines, the colonists seek to terraform the storm-swept planet. Two such residents are Anne and Russell Jorden, seeking a fortune that eluded them on Earth. On Acheron, Anne gives birth to the colony's first newborn - Rebecca Jordan, also known as Newt.

The wildcatters discover a vast, decaying spaceship. The horseshoe-shaped vessel is of particular interest to Weyland-Yutani and may be the answer to their dreams. But what Anne and Russ find onboard proves to be the stuff not of dreams but of nightmares.

I Love Aliens!!

Good story and great reading. I enjoy the different voices. It makes the book come alive. I am looking forward to the next book.

Enjoyed this story in the Alien Universe

I’d love to see this story and Out of The Shadows both get a second story to continue these characters journeys to see how things panned out for each of them.

Much Better than anticipated

Outstanding story if you love Aliens. I thought, given the movie, I knew how it would end, but really liked the surprise and the tie ins. This would have been a great movie that could have spun off its own arm for the series

great story!!

I'm a huge Aliens fan and I love this story.
the characters are great and the narrator did a good job.
I highly recommend this book if you're an aliens fan.

Captivating story telling.

Answers so many questions from Alien to Aliens on LV-426. great ploy and detailed context.
