Summary
A groundbreaking Latinx Aliens novel by a rising star Latina author, featuring the fan-favorite character PFC Jenette Vasquez from the hit movie Aliens and the family she is forced to leave behind
Even before the doomed mission to Hadley’s Hope on LV-426, Jenette Vasquez had to fight to survive. Born to an immigrant family with a long military tradition, she looked up to the stars, but life pulled her back down to Earth—first into a street gang, then prison. The Colonial Marines proved to be Vasquez’s way out—a way that forced her to give up her twin children. Raised by Jenette’s sister, those children, Leticia and Ramon, had to discover their own ways to survive. Leticia by following her mother’s path into the military, Ramon into the corporate hierarchy of Weyland-Yutani. Their paths would converge on an unnamed planet which some see as a potential utopia, while others would use it for highly secretive research. Regardless of whatever humans might have planned for it, however, Xenomorphs will turn it into a living hell.

Not enough Xenomorphs
It pains me to write a negative review as a massive Alien fan but there was little on Alien & more about a family story of Vasquez twins. Would be better but most action on alien was within the last hour. They had queens the lot & feel that the lack of there presence or drones. Love Vasquez but I won’t be listening to this book again. All the others I’ve listened each Alien so many times however this left me disappointed & that’s a first in the Alien franchise. Also the narrator made some people sound like an AI.

enjoyed this but was expecting more action
enjoyed the book some good characters but the action came late and falls somewhat flat after the build up and is over very quickly hopefully we see this character again and she gets more time to shine

if you want aliens. don't waste your time
9 hours of character building which largely has nothing to do with the the last 2 hours. less than an hour of actual action

Family saga.
Not so much an ‘Alien’ story as a family saga. Long, LONG time to get going. Gave up half way through, and went back to it later.

poor poor character creation. lack of alien
the lack of character creation in Leed character left me uninvested in the story. when it came down to the actual fighting of the xenomorphs, there was nothing there the first 4 hours I cannot remember then the last one hour I was let down. I was looking forward to this book

interesting but not what I expected
Although the book sounds like it'll focus on Jenette Vasquez, only a small part focuses on her, with the majority of the book following her children's lives. An interesting story, but I was hoping for more about one of my favourite characters in the franchise. I like the authors writing style though, so will try another of her books. The narrator does a good job.

Colonial marines' backstage
Very explicit show of internal politics and background of Colonial Marines.
Also insights of inner workings of Weyland Yutani Corp.
Hard truths about human heart.
The audio voice could be a little more dramatic when the narrative required faster pace.
Overall a good story.

Poor narration in relation to other titles
I love the franchise but sadly this wasn’t great compared to the other spin off books from alternative authors. Too little action too late for me

I've given up. the alien universe v teenage angst
it's such a bore feat. it's great to get an alternative view of the universe and the back story is cool but omg it goes on and on and my life is to short. it's meant to be a life time of bad road not a live time of teen angst. it may pan out towards the end.like the other books but beam me up I have had enough returned
