Alien: Out of the Shadows by Tim Lebbon

5.0

This was my very first Audible studios audiobook and I have to say that I had a lot of fun listening to this one!

I'm a fan of the Alien franchise and figured why not give this audiobook a shot since I got it for free off Audible. The production value was really great and the storyline was very over the top and fun. The action sequences are definitely the high light of the audio production. The voice cast is great (Rutger Hauer!) and the woman who voiced Ripley certainly sounded a lot like Sigourney Weaver. The really cool thing is that there were small touches to the story that really makes you appreciate the fact that the author really attempted to keep the tone of the first Alien movie with a mixture of Aliens action sequences.

I'm glad that this was my first (audio)book of the new year.
