Ok so I just finished this audiobook!
Wow! I'm in agreement with Perfect-Organism. This has been one of my top favorite alien experiences, along with alien isolation and the movies themselves!
Now I have to ask. I own the book, but haven't read it yet. How much different is the book compared to this audio drama? More detailed, less detailed? Did they make any huge storyline changes for better or worse? Or maybe storyline additions? Any thoughts of interest comparing this audio drama to the book?
I'm more highly motivated to read the book now. I loved the story. I even enjoyed how they wrapped it all up. This may even replace "Aliens: Rogue" as my favorite book in the EU. I feel like if they had strayed away from Ripley, it would have been a great story too, but I honestly didn't mind so much that ripley was in this story (didn't make it better or worse to me). But again, I still have to finish reading my current book, "ringworld" (which is also really good, for you sci fi junkies out there; if you like halo, "ringworld" was one of the inpirations for that series).
PS. For my second free audiobook, I did end up choosing "predator: incursion."
