Description

Ellen Ripley finally returns to Earth, only to discover that LV-426 — where the crew of the Nostromo first came into contact with the deadly xenomorphs — has been renamed Acheron.

Protected by Colonial Marines, the colonists seek to terraform the storm-swept planet against all the odds. But in the face of brutal living conditions and the daily struggles of a new world, there is humanity and hope. Anne and Russell Jorden — two colonists who are seeking a fortune that eluded them on Earth — are expecting their firstborn child.

The birth of Rebecca Jorden, known to her family as Newt, is a cause for celebration. But as the colony grows and expands, so, too, do the political struggles between a small detachment of Colonial Marines and the Weyland-Yutani scientists posted on Acheron. Willing to overlook their orders in order to serve the Company's interests, these scientists have another far more sinister agenda — to covertly capture a living Alien.

The wildcatters discover a vast, decaying spaceship. The horseshoe-shaped vessel is of particular interest to Weyland-Yutani and may be the answer to their dreams. But what Anne and Russell find onboard proves to be the stuff not of dreams but of nightmares.

This terrifying, cinematic, multicast dramatization — directed by the multiaward-winning Dirk Maggs, best known for his adaptations of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere for the BBC — is the sequel to Audible Original's Alien: Out of the Shadows (nominated for Best Audio Drama at the 2017 Audies).

Starring Golden Globe-nominated Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies, Limitless), Alexander Siddig (Star Trek: Deep Space 9, Game of Thrones), Michelle Ryan (Bionic Woman, Doctor Who), Colin Salmon (Alien vs Predator, Arrow, James Bond), Marc Warren (Mad Dogs, Saving Private Ryan, Hustle) and Philip Glenister (Outcast, Life on Mars), with special guest star William Hope returning as Lt. Gorman from James Cameron's Aliens.

On Par with "Alien: Out of the Shadows"

Like its predecessor, this dramatization is phenomenal on every level, from its story to the all-around performances, giving us an alternate viewpoint of the events of the Aliens (1986) movie. It flies by at a frenetic pace and ranks up there with the first three Alien films.

This is how you do an audio drama.

I was most impressed with this audio drama. Voice actors were great, and the dialog worked really well. The story basically deals with the colonists of Acheron (sp?), and takes place essentially at the beginning part of Aliens. The lady who voices Ripley does a pretty good impression of Sigourney Weaver. A very enjoyable listen.

Good Listen, worth the price.

Great story for alien fans. Good detail and nice plot, would listen again. Actors did a wonderful job individually portraying each character.

A Worthy Prequel To Aliens...

An excellent prequel to Aliens, River Of Pain has all the right stuff worthy of the Alien franchise. As a audio book, the production is like any hollywood blockbuster with great performances by the voice actors and excellent fx and music. The story suspenseful despite the tragic ending that anyone who's seen the movie Aliens would already know, though there are many surprises in store. Must listen for any fan of the Alien franchise, and anyone who enjoys sci-fi action blockbusters. It would be nice to see this as a movie.

Pretty good prequel to Aliens

This story is a prequel to Aliens and tells the story of Acheron’s colonists before the arrival of Ripley and the marines. This is basically just a backstory to Newt, speaking of Ripley her VA is stupendous, and to a lesser extent Burke’s VA, the others are lackluster, but that’s the only problem I have.

Absolutely amazing! A must for any Aliens fan.

I can't express how much I love it. Will be listening to it again and again. Given how the reboot movies turned out. This is a much appreciated dive back into what makes Alien so good.

late to the show

Really great work.

I love getting a new perspective from this story. to hear the characters hopeful internal monologue in stark contrast to the reality I know they are facing.

Also they make the audio only experience incredibly visceral and vivid without needing to rely on visuals which is impressive on its own.

Unexpectedly awesome

Loved the sound effects and story. The “child” acting was terrible. At that point they should’ve just cast actual children even with how difficult that might be, but it really takes you out of the horror when the children sound and talk like adults pretending to be children.

Everything was awesome. I listened to this first and just realized it’s a sequel, so I’m going back to listen to the first “book” next!

Thanks audible!
