À propos de cet audio

A direct sequel to Aliens and Alien 3—Weyland-Yutani, the Colonial Marines, and Bishop’s creator all pursue the android for the deadly Xenomorph data contained in his brain. Written by T. R. Napper, author of the acclaimed 36 Streets, whose explosive work explores the artificial intelligence and what it is to be human.

Massively damaged in Aliens and Alien 3, the synthetic Bishop asked to be shut down forever. His creator, Michael Bishop, has other plans. He seeks the Xenomorph knowledge stored in the android’s mind and brings Bishop back to life—but for what reason? No longer an employee of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, Michael tells his creation that he seeks to advance medical research for the benefit of humanity. Yet where does he get the resources needed to advance his work. With whom do his new allegiances lie?

Bishop is pursued by Colonial Marines Captain Marcel Apone, commander of the Il Conde and younger brother of Master Sergeant Alexander Apone, one of the casualties of the doomed mission to LV-426. Also on his trail are the “Dog Catchers,” commandos employed by Weyland-Yutani.

Who else might benefit from Bishop’s intimate knowledge of the deadliest creatures in the galaxy?

Aliens books seem to either be a lot of character and story building with a little of the aliens or a lot of aliens and little backstory. This book is in the middle. It’s a good book and opens up to a future series. In the next I’d rather see more alien action personally. Overall, worth the time and look forward to it being a series with Apones brother(nice touch). Narrators are good as well, take a bit to get used to but once you do, they do a very good job of keeping your attention.

Lots of character/ story building at the start, great overall.

Great sequel to Aliens if you were a big fan of Bishop and Apone. Really enjoyed the communist in space inclusion

Bishop lives !

T.R. Napper offers a story told from 3 perspectives: the Synthetic Bishop re-awakenened by his creator in an effort to plumb his database for information on the Xenomorphs; a group of Colonial Marines dealing with the aftermath of the events on LV-426 in 'Aliens' + Fury-161 in 'Alien III'; and Chinese military experimenting with using the monsters and paying the price. Napper eventually brings the three plot lines together in an exceedingly satisfying thoughtful SciFi-Horror tale.

..aaand then there's the presentation: to be certain, the six readers enlisted to read the various POVs from the various chapters are professional.. but a couple of them waaay overenunciate, a couple sound robotic, and a couple are over-the-top dramatic. The cumulative impression is of a "below average" audiobook.

Altogether, I am pleased to have discovered this AlienTM universe story in the Audible catalog. 'Bishop' merits 8.5 stars out of 10. Spend the Credit.

[Note: Napper's description of prisoners of the Chinese intentionally "impregnated" with Xenomorphs and experiencing the horror of creatures unexpectedly bursting out of them and immediately attacking is both mind's-eye vivid gory + harrowing (we know the nightmare that's about to happen.. they don't)]

Excellent Story Let Down By Narration

I enjoyed the story, the various perspectives, the great narration and the lore. Much better than the other reviews lead me to expect.

This was better than expected

Very enjoyable.
It took me a bit to get used to the multiple narrators but once I did it was smooth sailing.
I hope it becomes a series of its own.

Great Story
