IYKYK

Revisado: 05-25-23

You’ll know if this book is for you, if it is, get a notebook, and take notes. You’re going to be very busy, don’t try to rely on brute memory to remember if all. It’s worth repeated listens, but you may not get the chance, so again - TAKE NOTES.

Okay Story, Annoying British Translation

Revisado: 09-21-22

Asa Larsson is a decent enough writer and the narrator is of similar quality, the rub is in the translation - it isn’t standard English, it’s a migraine invoking nonstop stream of cheesy stereotypical Bri’ishisms. A generous description would be that it sounds like something a non native English speaker would produce because their language fluency was bolstered by too many cheesy BBC shows and not enough real interactions. It has a pronounced negative impact on the over all delivery of the story.

Too Much Woke

Revisado: 05-31-21

Interesting stories, interesting delivery, but subject to moments of knee jerk wokism that is both annoying and highly distracting to the story being delivered.

Okay Story, Noticable Woke After Taste

Revisado: 12-05-20

The story is alright, it moves along briskly without too much loitering or lag. But issues begin to surface with character introductions that are painfully self-conscious and irrelevant to the action. The seemingly compulsory inventory of specific minorities included only to check the block for each special identity, by name, A through Z. I’m waiting for Identity Politics to catch up to Achondroplasia. Things should really get interesting then.
The problems continue with a less than authentic protagonist. This is the Alien Diaspora, so of course, it will be a female voice - but her presentation fails to deliver in terms of believability. She does not think, plan, or act like the one thing she is supposed to be - a xenomorph experienced former Space Marine. She always comes across as a collection of modern middle-class female stereotypes stuffed into a role that she play-acts her way through, in tepid pedestrian fashion.

For all of that, it isn’t terrible. The Xenomorph is interesting and unusual, bringing a new and different threat to the standard Alien narrative, and the story does roll right along. Waggoner never lets the action get too bogged down or over-involved. Mollo-Christensen’s narration is a good fit for the character and action, as well as carrying the story over moments where the character’s believability falters. If you like the Alien Franchise, [why else would you be listening to the book?] you won’t think it’s the worst Alien story ever - just one of the more Okayest.
