As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey.

Like a movie in your mind
Revisado: 06-15-17
Where does Alien: Out of the Shadows rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is one of my favorite audiobooks I've listened to thus far. It's formatted like a script, not a narration, complete with sound effects and different actors for the various characters. The woman who played Ripley was phenomenal-sounds just like Sigourney Weaver so I didn't feel as if it lost any continuity. This story fits in between the first two Alien movies (original trilogy) so I was wondering how they would handle the fact that the story line in this book would be absent from the movies, but they handled it in a way that was logical and made sense.
What other book might you compare Alien: Out of the Shadows to and why?
If you like podcasts that are done in the style of "We're Alive" where it is acted out and not told, I think you'd really like this.

It will take a Christmas miracle for two very different souls to find each other in this perfectly festive fairy tale of New York! Hopeless romantic Eva Jordan loves everything about Christmas. She might be spending the holidays alone this year, but when she's given an opportunity to house-sit a spectacular penthouse on Fifth Avenue, she leaps at the chance. What better place to celebrate than in snow-kissed Manhattan? What she didn't expect was to find the penthouse still occupied by its gorgeous - and mysterious - owner.

Cute story
Revisado: 12-07-16
It's a cute little romance. I liked the narrator's characterization of Eva but didn't care for her depictions of the others-they all had the same deep monotone.

Some friends are more like family...and that's exactly how Cara Martin feels about Ryan Langston. He stood by her side through the most difficult time of her life, and there's nothing she won't do for him even now, after his death. But inheriting Ryan's share of his family's ranch in West Texas and living there for a year? Cara doesn't understand what he was thinking. Still, she cannot, will not deny Ryan's last request...even if it means sharing a roof with his brooding, arrogant older brother.

Draws you in
Revisado: 11-18-16
While the majority of the book focuses on Cara's time at the ranch, the author does give a chapter or 2 to the relationship with Ryan, and this really helps set the tone and the background for the remainder of the book. As with her other books, the author really delves into the character development in a refreshing and unique manner. The narrator also does a good job, especially with Jeth's character-she gives him a slight Texan drawl that doesn't sound forced and doesn't sound like she's going unnaturally low when reading for him.

Sucks you right into the game
Revisado: 09-25-16
What an amazing and well-preformed story. I downloaded this to listen with my husband who is more into the video game and 80's phenomena than I but I loved this story just as much as he did. Even if you don't think you're into this genre, give Ready Player One a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Gripping
Revisado: 07-28-16
This story is one of joy, laughter, heartache, and perseverance. The parallel stories of Vivian and Molly gripped my heart. The narrators are fantastic, especially when she portrays the 91 year old Vivian. More than once I found myself wishing I could meet Vivian. I highly recommend this book.
