Woke Politics Strike Again

Woke? Check. Trans superhero? Check. Empowered woman of color governed by evil blonde-haired, blue-eyed Karen, who has literal racial memories of the American south? Check. It would appear that not even space monsters are safe from the ever-encroaching social justice infestation. Sad, because there are several excellent stories here worth listening to. Maybe this is just another version of Burke's plan: smuggle the few bits of good fiction inside the body of progressive politics to get it past quarantine.

Complete trash

Man,
I am a huge aliens/predator fan. Every time I see a book come out , I either preorder or buy. This is the first time I returned a book in this universe. Books complete trash , Woke garbage installed into the alien universe
Not worth a free listen , let alone a credit
Hard pass on this one

wow

this sucked. the chics voice that goes UP and Down at the end of sentences is mind numbingly horrific! so is the PC ,woke nonsense. now the yautja females are repressed? since when? all the other books have them as badass warriors. And not having Bronson Pinchot narrate was such a let down..expected so much more..it all came off whiney and self righteous. please leave your person social justice religion out of books....pretty pathetically written and lack luster performances. it's just..so bad. wasted a whole credit on it. oh well.

Predators meets woke culture

Spoiler: Woke culture throughout. Great stories if you love the AVP universe, pervasive female tough girl trope. 5 stars.

Just awful why even do this Mr. Maberry?

These stories are insulting and unnecessary. I'm a minority and the one thing thing that has always attracted me to AVP material is that it's naturally diverse. Strong female characters are real woman (Xeno Ripley excluded), not Wonder women capable of whooping Arnolds arse! Racisms exists, but it's not shoved down your throat with stupid references to events this future has no way of remembering or would be overly concerned about. The "various authors" are clearly NOT science fiction writers and the narrators read the stories like they didn't care. Unfortunately the reviews are right. This really is trash.

Strong women vs. aliens

Book 3 of Predator "WAR" introduced a female protagonist organically, this is just a highlight of men and their wrong doing. I watched Dutch tossed around like a rag doll by a Predator, I watched countless space marines torn in half and mutilated by the Xenomorphs. However in this iteration of science fiction fantasy strong women rule the day.
This narrative only highlights males, arrogance, abusiveness and womanizing attributes. Women only save the day and never display any of these negative traits.
Ripley needed an Xo-suit to slay a Xenomorph, but this narrative would have me believe a fed up woman with a shotgun is the most powerful being in the galaxy.
Women can be powerful, however men can be powerful as well, not just cannon fodder for alien species.
The book became a bit much to swallow.

Woke Garbage!

don't waste your money or time! some of the worst stories in the AVP universe. especially the second story, it's almost painful to think these are professional writers.

Hodgepodge of Mediocre Stories

I own well over 100 titles on audible. This is the first that I've felt strongly enough about something to review it before finishing. It's a disjointed collection of short stories meant to be a love letter from various others. In practice, some stories are decent, some are outright bad. This also applies to the narrators. There's one particular female narrator that has this sing-songy tone to how she talks while putting forth almost no effort to give life to different character voices. I had to jump ship at that point.

In addition, I'm all for inclusion and support various communities, but at least have whatever persuasion they claim be a plot device rather than an attempt at LGBTQ friendly bingo.

Left wanting

Struggle to finish. Best part of the book was the Intro and Editor's Foreword.
