The official prequel leading into the upcoming Aliens cooperative third-person survival shooter video game, Aliens: Fireteam, from Cold Iron Studios.

Dr. Timothy Hoenikker arrives on Pala Station, a Weyland-Yutani facility. Lured there by the promise of alien artifacts, instead he finds a warped bureaucracy and staff of misfits testing the effects of Xenomorph bio-materials on living creatures. Unbeknownst to the personnel, however, there is an infiltrator among them whose actions could spell disaster.

Also on staff is Victor Rawlings, a former marine who gathers together other veterans to prepare for the worst. As the personnel receive a delivery of alien eggs, the experiments spin out of control, and only the former Colonial Marines can stand between the humans and certain death.

I always enjoy venturing into the Aliens Universe with a new story and meeting new characters and Xenomorphs. Weyland Yutani experimenting on Xenomorphs, what could possibly go wrong??? The build up towards it all going inevitably wrong was a little slow but this didn't bother me. A good prequel story before the release of Aliens: Fireteam.

Further expansion into the Aliens Universe.

I really enjoyed the story and another excellent narration by Pinchot, he was excellent with phalanx and didn't disappoint here either.

another great Aliens story

Some interesting ideas for plot points and creature design but bogged down by oddly sexist writing, bad plot lines and breaks in tension.
Not all bad in regards to certain new -morphs and the overall idea of a story and some characters are fairly well fleshed out and the narrator does a good job separating the characters voices which made it easy to follow.

Decent Ideas, Poor Writing

Whilst it's far from the lofty heights of Alex White's 'Cold Forge' and 'Into Charybdis' this is an entertaining, occasionally unnerving addition to the Alien universe.

Infiltrator has decent pacing, a wide range of memorable characters and well handled action sequences. And though the plot is of course predictable, Ochse throws some interesting science and creature variations into the mythos.

Ultimately limited world-building, lack of depth and a plethora of minor plot holes hold things back, but much like the game it foreshadows (Alien: Fireteam Elite) it's fun while it lasts.

Narration is pretty solid, occasionally a little hammy.


Decent Pulp Terror
