Aliens: Bishop

A Novel

De: T. R. Napper

Narrado por: Alex Boyles, Eunice Wong, Shiromi Arserio, Nancy Wu, Pun Bandhu, Tim Campbell

A direct sequel to Aliens and Alien 3—Weyland-Yutani, the Colonial Marines, and Bishop’s creator all pursue the android for the deadly Xenomorph data contained in his brain. Written by T. R. Napper, author of the acclaimed 36 Streets, whose explosive work explores the artificial intelligence and what it is to be human.

Massively damaged in Aliens and Alien 3, the synthetic Bishop asked to be shut down forever. His creator, Michael Bishop, has other plans. He seeks the Xenomorph knowledge stored in the android’s mind and brings Bishop back to life—but for what reason? No longer an employee of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, Michael tells his creation that he seeks to advance medical research for the benefit of humanity. Yet where does he get the resources needed to advance his work. With whom do his new allegiances lie?

Bishop is pursued by Colonial Marines Captain Marcel Apone, commander of the Il Conde and younger brother of Master Sergeant Alexander Apone, one of the casualties of the doomed mission to LV-426. Also on his trail are the “Dog Catchers,” commandos employed by Weyland-Yutani.

Who else might benefit from Bishop’s intimate knowledge of the deadliest creatures in the galaxy?

Good story

I enjoyed listening to this book. Some good additional synthetic models that would make sense.

Excellent follow up to the Aliens and Alien 3 movies.

The voices were well done. The different narrator’s added depth to the different characters. This book filled in the blanks after Alien 3 ended. Very enjoyable, It’s one of those rare pieces that can be listen to multiple times.

Great to be back in this universe… vicariously of course.

Wonderful story. I liked the use of multiple narrators to give the characters distinct voices and perspectives. It was cool to see Bishop somewhat front and center… he’s kind of the antithesis of David (Prometheus/Covenant).

Human Tales

Well balanced story from many angels. Alien book but a human story based around synthetic life forms.

Bishop delivers!

Awesome book continuing the Aliens Saga with Bishop as the hero again. Amazing book and I can’t wait for a continuation!
