About this audiobook

When the Colonial Marines set out after their deadliest prey, the Xenomorphs, it’s what Corporal Hicks calls a bug hunt—kill or be killed. Here are fifteen all-new stories of such “close encounters,” written by many of today’s most extraordinary authors.

Set during the events of all four Alien films, sending the Marines to alien worlds, to derelict space settlements, and into the nests of the universe’s most dangerous monsters, these adventures are guaranteed to send the blood racing—one way or another.

All of the short stories in this collection are good, but not all of them contain the titular Alien Xenomorph. What is extremely disappointing is that the story Reclamation, is cut short with half the story missing. I was able to find the full version of the story on YouTube, but I should not have had to do that, so only 4/5 stars.

I really enjoyed the stories however there were several that cut off abruptly and didn't have an ending. After looking into it, it would appear this has happened to others as well. How can I redownload it to get all of it?
