(yes, believe it or not) Because as we ALL know or maybe just some of us, a bad narrator can really ruin the book. I make my decision based on the the narrator. I decide if I want to purchase it by doing this. Listen and read the thought everyone did this but after reading some to the reviews no so. The first thing I always, repeat ALWAYS do is to listen to the samples.I tend to go on from there. I knew exactly what I was buying when I bought it.

Overall I do recommend this as a great listen for anyone interested in probing the boundaries of the Aliens Franchise, getting a glimpse of the action from the side of our friends in the colonial marines. This doesn't mean that the authors behind these particular adventures didn't write well, or create memorable stories, but it does mean I was less enthusiastic about listening to them or connecting with their characters as I was when xenomorphs arrived on scene to sew their unique brand of chaos and horror. While those sections have a magnificent and well thought out premise, especially probing the bounds of what we know to exist in this particular cinematic and literary universe, they don't have nearly the same punch or draw that the originals do. However, the ones I find the most engaging and well crafted are the ones which prominently feature xenomorphs, and less so their speculative counterparts. These adventures are a fun take on the source material and stay true to much of the mythos set down in previous works, both on paper and on the silver screen. As a testament to the longevity of the franchise, it is an ambitious and exciting take on the legacy brought to life on screen with the original Alien film in 1979, and then again in 1986 with its sequel Aliens.
