Great book widening the scope of Alien universe

a fun group of short stories set in the alien universe. Great fun and very inventive.

Great storytelling

I was really impressed with this collection of stories from the franchise; there were a few that said out of me as being really strong, and I enjoyed them immensely.

Worthy of the series.

Great collection of stories and authors. Each story built upon the last. Could stop listening.

Aliens

Aliens stories from the black are very very interesting good stuff pure SCi Fi

Fantastic expansion of this universe

If you love the Alien movies and or books. This collection is worth it. The stories are rich and varied but all seem to capture the same dark menacing theme of the original two movies.
Its hard to give a review on performance or stories when there are so many in here, but I love short fiction anyway. As with all short fiction some of them with strike a core with you and others may not but overall there was not a single story in this collection that I was not entertained by and some that will linger in my head for a while. Well done to the writers and the performers for making these come alive for me on a 500 mile road trip.

amazing

great story's they kept me on the edge of my seat, I hope there are more story's like this one!

MEH

Very few orginal ideas, with the exception of the story about Burke from aliens. That story was a welcome change of pace. The Mayberry story felt like another prologues not a complete thought.

It’s a nice detour

I enjoyed several of these stories just remember they are short stories.. Some stories I really wish could have been expanded if not into full books maybe novellas. Still quite enjoyable.

Baseless Storied

In over 8 hours of stories only two or three were worthy of telling. The other stories were simply boring and made no sense.

Fairly Good

Not the best of the Alien series, but still entertaining. I would recommend the others to be read first.
