Summary
Returned to Earth, Ellen Ripley learns that a colony has been established on LV-426, the planet where the crew of the Nostromo found the original Alien.
But contact with the colonists has been lost, so she must accompany a unit of colonial marines to discover their fate. And to destroy any Aliens found on the planet known as Acheron.
This is a groundbreaking sequel by science fiction legend Alan Dean Foster, with the wonderful characters and rapid-fire action that make Aliens one of the greatest science fiction films of all time.

Great adaptation of the film, just one niggle.
I really enjoyed this book. William Hope does a great job with the voices. All the characters from the film popped to life in my head on cue.
Tiny niggle with the author.
Why the repeated use of the term 'biomechanical'? The aliens are purely organic, not mechanical at all.
I kept thinking he was slipping into Terminator.
The word knocked me out of the narrative three or four times.
Other than that, great job.

Lives up to the movie...
Any additional comments?
I doubt any one would listen to this who has not watched the movie, its a very good listen, well read and the story flows well enough, enjoyable.

no profanity?
I dont mind at all that there is no swearing but the cuts to the two very famous instances that all the fans of the film will be familiar with were most unappreciated. Despite this sanitisation it was a good performance.

Great Sci-Fi Story
I bought this whilst on offer as a spontaneous purchase, but then was initially reluctant to listen to it as movie books tend to be a bit poor in my experience. It is literally a rehash of the movie, but that's not a bad thing......is it?
I enjoyed it and would recommend. A guilty pleasure indeed.

Good but could be better!
Really enjoyed this although, spoiled somewhat due to omission of swear words! I think they were needed to portray the real fear and panic experienced by the characters.
