Predator ships stream into human space in unprecedented numbers. The Colonial Marines, controlled by Weyland-Yutani, respond to the incursion, thus entering the Rage War. This terrifying assault by the Yautja cannot go unchallenged, yet the cost of combat is high. Predators are master combatants, and each encounter yields a high body count. Then, when Lt. Johnny Mains and his marines - the VoidLarks - enter the fray, they discover an enemy deadlier than any could imagine.

Story155
Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles, varied cultures, and conquests, vibrant until the demons rose and spread relentless destruction. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails, and dreaded “tooth-tongues” raged through the lowlands, killing 90 percent of the planet’s population. Terrified survivors fled to hidden mountain keeps where they eke out a meager existence. When a trio of young warriors discovers a new weapon, they see a chance to end this curse. To save humanity, they must fight.

The Covenant mission is the most ambitious endeavor in the history of Weyland-Yutani. A ship bound for Origae-6, carrying 2,000 colonists beyond the limits of known space, this is a make-or-break investment for the corporation - and for the future of all mankind. Yet there are those who would die to stop the mission. As the colony ship hovers in Earth orbit, several violent events reveal a deadly conspiracy to sabotage the launch.

This ALIEN story begins where most end: with a xenomorph loose on a damaged spaceship hurtling through space. Once a highly decorated marine, Chris Temple, a recently widowed single father to two young daughters, Jane, 11, and Emma, 8, is onboard. Despite his particular set of skills, Chris doesn’t get involved in the fight with the alien, instead focusing on keeping his children safe as the ship comes in for a crash landing.

In this book, the war really gets going.. while solidifying who the Rage really are, what their goals are, and how they have bred/enslaved thousands of Xenomorph "troops".
Lebbon's Horror writing background shines in this book. His prose/vocabulary and dialogue are imperfect, but the combat is well-scripted, morbidly hopeless/resigned ("We know we're going to die. Let's take some of these bastards with us"), gory, and legitimately chilling. It's a big, dark improvement on Book One.
As to presentation: John Chancer has improved, too. His gravelly/sibilant reading timbre continues, but his voice-acting is better and Audible Studios sound engineers do a nice job mixing the recording (softening Chancer's grating "S"s, for example).
Altogether, 'Alien: Invasion' merits 8.5 stars out of 10. It isn't much of a standalone - another book is necessary for plot resolution - but this audiobook was a fantastic action-filled way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons. More Yautja, please. On to Book Three..
