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.

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 planet LV-363 teems with exotic life, including a plant growing in the shadows of its deep rifts. The plant’s flower yields a valuable narcotic, and people are forced by the cartels to harvest it. When a Yautja (Predator) ship arrives for a hunting ritual, the Predators seed the rifts with Xenomorph eggs. The aliens emerge and the result is bizarre and deadly hybrids, with humans trapped between the Predators and their prey. These deadly Xenomorph hybrids—some of which possess the ability to fly—swarm out of control and may prove more than the Yautja or the humans can defeat.

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.

Great collection for Fanboys
I have to admit I'm a nerd. I play D&D and Video Games, read lots of SciFi and Fantasy, and enjoy campy Action and Horror flicks. I really savored this compendium of action-filled stories, almost all under an hour, about one of my favorite characters.
I was pretty worried when buying this book that such a visually impressive creature (almost tailor-made for Movies/TV and Graphic Novels) wouldn't be done justice in this format. I was wrong. It translates great to audiobook.
There are a few lame stories and dreadful performances, but what do you expect from 16 different recordings?...not all are going to fit your tastes perfectly.
Personally, I'm not a fan of stories written from the perspective of the Alien, for example. I think it's more effective if the creature remains mysterious, not thinking of it's "clan" back home. I don't really care for it's motivation. Authors should simply concentrate on events, especially in short story form. I don't really care that the stories develop the "character" of a relentless, ruthless hunter. Switching back and forth from human and Predator perspective is done, too. Quite a few of those.
And face it, Salman Rushdie is never writing a "Predator" tale. Some of the authors aren't exactly MENSA members..."He instructed they put 3 minutes on the clock. They put up a countdown of seconds for more drama. It counted down from 240..."You were expecting 'literature'?
Overall it's fun, and more hit than miss. I give this collection a solid 8 out of 10 Stars.

Fun listen
I enjoyed most of the stories. A problem I found was that some writers stretched things a bit. One story with Predators going after 2 people who defeated some nearly a decade earlier was one. How did these Predators find them? How did the information get to them? Then a Predator prisoner forced in illegal fight in outer space. A rescue party shows up. How they did they find him? That was balanced out with a possible reason for why General Stonewall Jackson was shot by one of his own men during the Civil War among the other stories. This is a book that most can enjoy.

Fun Stories involving Ya-ucha (Predator)
I enjoyed almost every story. I am generally not a fan of short story collections, but this one was irresistible. We get to see Stone wall Jackson face these perfect hunters! Each story feels like a real historical antidote documenting the human encounters with this relentless foe.
I elect to keep my review short so I don't let any spoilers slip! If you are a fan of the Predator world of movies, books, and the occasional bloodbath, then this is the book for you. It's also convenient that each chapter starts a new story.

Some stories were good; some not. Some narrators were good; some not. A few of the stories definitely should be made into full length novels. The story involving Fernando was hilarious! I wish that one was full-length. All in all, most of the stories were lame. Not worth the $.

2 stars because I had to round up.
Another poor quality anthology with stories feeling like they were phoned in by the contributing authors. It seems that most of the short stories were quick and clunky narratives with very little desire to stick with predator lore. It felt as if the authors changed Yautja lore to fit their story premise, and as such made the stories feel less viable.
I gave each short story it's own rating of 1-5 stars, along with a personal blurb for each one.
DEVIL DOGS by Tim Lebbon
** Only because of the Colonial Marines. Would have given 3 stars, but the marines came across as pussies.
STONEWALL'S LAST STAND by Jeremy Robinson
** Civil War premise could have been fantastic. Union soldiers fighting a Yautja while Atlanta burned world have been fun. This story...not so much.
REMATCH by Steve Perry
* Not enough background to make the listener care. Everybody, including the Yautja, were two-dimensional.
MAY BLOOD PAVE MY WAY HOME by Weston Ochse
* A story that will make your readers/listeners daydream about what good stories are about.
STORM BLOOD by Peter J. Wacks and David Boop
* meh...who cares. Couldn't keep the narrative straight, and having it take place during Katrina just seemed like low-hanging fruit.
LAST REPORT FROM THE KSS PSYCHOPOMP by Jennifer Brozek
* Couldn't make this story and its characters less interesting if the authors tried.
SKELD'S KEEP by S. D. Perry
*** Had possibilities but lacked in development and understanding of "Viking" culture. Up to this point was the best story.
INDIGENOUS SPECIES by Kevin J. Anderson
* A pointless story full of glaring Yautja inaccuracies. Plus, Anderson should know how devastating a "plasma" rifle should be to any life form.
BLOOD AND SAND by Mira Grant
* Yautja "beats up meanie mcmeanie aunt and uncle." Such a sub-par story.
TIN WARRIORS by John Shirley
*** Kind of fun in a very basic way.
THREE SPARKS by Larry Correia
**** Best story yet! Would have been 5 stars but the final conversation was pointless and didn't serve to act as a fitting resolution for the story.
THE PILOT by Andrew Mayne
*** Nice little story with a fun twist. The ending suffered a bit, but all in all I liked the tale.
BUFFALO JUMP by Wendy N. Wagner
* DEAR GOD SHOOT ME NOW AND MAKE THE PAIN STOP!!!
DRUG WAR by Bryan Thomas Schmidt and Holly Roberds
* Cheap theatrics using established characters in the Canon to move a silly and uninteresting story along. Couldn't find a care about anything in this story.
RECON by Dayton Ward
*** Of course there had to be a Vietnam story. I did like how the author incorporated the Tet Offensive into the story, but mostly how he brought the Yautja honor code into play. Rough, but enjoyable.
GAMEWORLD by Jonathan Maberry
**** A truly exciting, fun, developed and predictable story. Loved the ending.
