Publisher's summary

What monsters surround you every day?

When Catalina, a monster huntress, receives a call for help from the town of Corumbá, she immediately answers, aware of their helplessness against the strange creatures that creep through the forests of Brazil. However, she quickly learns that the real fight is not only against the swamp, but also against the shadows of her past.

Welcome to The Redacted Files.

Tyler Hanson's debut series, The Faction, is a series of novels set in a timeline not too unlike our own, where conspiracies are connected by sinister means. Follow five individuals who use ill-gotten “abilities” to battle against a global terror. From Ground Zero to the Indian Ocean Tsunami, from Hotel Cecil to Water Fluoridation, the outcasts travel through an altered history as they learn their limits. What are they willing to sacrifice to undo these urban legends?

In The Redacted Files, experience tales outside the main narrative, giving valuable insights into the characters, exploring never before seen locations, and experiencing terrible monsters that will terrify the mind.

If you enjoy the creeping conspiracy of The Matrix, the bestiaries of HP Lovecraft, and the super-powered heroes of X-Men, then Alligator Season is a must listen. Tyler Hanson's debut novella will pull you into The Faction, and you'll never want to leave.

Great Prequel

This story was a prequel to the actual series, but it can be appreciated as a stand alone story also. I listened to the first book of the series, "Personnel: Dossier Feldgrau (The Faction, Book 1)" and Catalina was my favorite character in the series, so it was great hearing more of her story. I totally enjoyed this tale. Jess Trepanier does an awesome job as narrator. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Get Comfortable and Listen

I really didn't know what to expect when I started this one. I originally thought monsters. Maybe cryptids. I couldn't have been more wrong. Oh, there are monsters all right. Just not necessarily the ones you think.

It's well-written, with good descriptions and dialogue. There's enough action to keep you going long after you should have been doing something else.

Read it or listen to it. The narration is good on audible. Either way, you won't be disappointed.

Catalina

I enjoyed this little short story, Catalina is one tough cookie, I liked the location because my brother in law is from Brazil, & I like reptiles, my only real complaint was the narrator, her voice was a little bit annoying, and she made some typos as I was following along with the printed book, overall I give the audio book 4 stars, the narration 3 stars & the story 5 stars. I will probably read the printed next in series book.

Enjoyable short read

Alligator Season: The Redacted Files, my first read from author Tyler Hanson. Well-written, the characters as well-developed as can be in this short work. I’m a character reader, I get into the characters. Who and what they are. Why they do the things they do. The things that make a reader get invested into the characters and thereby the book. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Jess Trepanier's narration added to the book's enjoyment. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Excellent prequel

I didn’t know what to expect when I started this book, and I’m glad. I’m not sure I would have read it if I had. It was very good, lots of excitement and a full story. While I have a lot more questions about the main character, I expected that, since it’s a prequel. I look forward to reading the series. If the whole series is all action like this one I’m not sure if I’ll like it, but I’m definitely going to find out.

Weird Start But Good Ending!

Not at all what I expected when I started, but in the end an interesting story with an unexpected twist in the end. It was a short story that made some long leaps, but it held together well. It would have been good to have read a prequel to set the stage for the lead character and the story line - but - then the ending would not have been as good. :)
