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?

    Anyone who is familiar with the books or movies knows how integral a part the android Lance Bishop is to the Alien canon and ethos. So, to base an entire audiobook around his character and go deep into his history and origin story was an interesting---albeit arduous---undertaking. For author T.R. Napper risked triggering, activating, and detonating a very large pile of AFNs throughout our known solar system. (A-F-Ns…Also known as Alien Fanboy Nerds.) Napper and the amazing arsenal of readers who colored each character, including Bishop, with their spot-on work here, should not be worried. Aliens: Bishop was SO MUCH FUN. I really liked the deep, human direction the story went. There were some very emotional moments, and the entire thing was sprinkled with nostalgia, characters, and references from the full Alien lore and universe. I mean, there was the entire Alien enchilada: Full of bloody xenomorph gunfights, dripping acid mouths and campy corporate scientists being torn limb for limb and punished for their greedy lies. Those timely and untimely chest-burstings and revenge xenomorph impregnations---which are always a disgusting must. My compliments to the chef. I give Bishop the highest of marks! And you can trust me…for I am also, well---I’m…I’m… I’m an AFN. There. I said it. I feel better now.
