Alien: Prototype by Tim Waggoner

4.0

Audible has been rocking my sci-fi nerd world with its series of Alien audiobooks during the past few years.  The latest dark adventure by Tim Waggoner, entitled ‘Prototype,’ had me looking over my shoulder far more than usual during my morning walks.  This sumptuous nightmare was another study in the psychology of how greed tempers fear, and I had a marvelous time guessing which emotion would drive its characters into the monster’s jaws.  I particularly enjoyed this version of the xenomorph itself, dubbed here a necromorph because of its insidious hunting method.  In the Alien franchise, each iteration of the beast always presents unique mutations imparted by its host, and this bad puppy was no disappointment. *begins to cough from puppy breath*
