About this listen
WARNING: The Alien would be rated R if it were a movie for Foul Language, Adult Themes, Violence, and Nudity. It is NOT for the Faint of Heart. This story is intended for mature listeners, like you… "
“There will be no rescue,” he’d said. “Succeed or be lost.” Who the hell says something like that to an employee?
Cut-throat bosses, local mobsters, an influencer girlfriend, and evil corporations, that’s who.
A fun and smart near future thriller crammed with mind-expanding concepts, science being explored today, fast paced action, and unexpected twists. All driven by expertly presented emotions, desires, and childhood issues in life or death situations.
Observatory Space Program Test Pilot, Michael Forbes is trying to survive his ship’s destruction as a potential corporate assassin enters the picture… and the locals want to help, for a price. Meanwhile back home, greed and deception weave manipulating strands of depravity and complete disregard for people, threatening the life he longs to return to.
Stranded on an alien planet, Michael’s struggles are intensified as he becomes the first Emissary of Earth, a role he is totally unprepared for.
A modernized Gulliver’s Travels meets Black Mirror and The Sopranos with a serial killer on the loose. Daniel Wescott delivers a deep thrill ride filled with intriguing ideas that will leave you pondering long after you’ve finished the book.

Genesis Beyond Stars
The Alien Seed: Planet Initiative, Book 1 is a masterfully woven tapestry of sci-fi intrigue and vivid world-building. From the moment the audiobook begins, the narrator's compelling voice transports the listener into an interstellar adventure brimming with suspense, mystery, and hope. The story centers on humanity's desperate mission to colonize a distant planet, but it’s much more than a tale of survival. The author brilliantly explores themes of alien ecology, genetic manipulation, and the resilience of the human spirit. What sets this audiobook apart is its ability to balance high-concept science fiction with deeply personal character arcs. The protagonist’s inner turmoil resonates on a universal level, while the alien species introduced are refreshingly unique and vividly described. The narration is a standout feature, with seamless transitions between characters and emotional depth that enhances the story. The pacing is perfect for audio, with tension that builds gradually but consistently, keeping you engaged from start to finish. The sound design, including subtle background effects, adds an immersive layer that elevates the listening experience. For fans of The Expanse or Dune, The Alien Seed offers a thrilling journey that feels both original and timeless. This is an audiobook that doesn’t just tell a story—it transports you to another world. Highly recommended for any sci-fi aficionado!

Great
If you like the film you’ll like this. Read very well and allows you to sense exactly what is happening. Not really anything I didn’t like apart from the extra alien story added after it had finished.
