There are more than one way to pronounce words that sound the same but can be spelt differently, especially people's names. John and Jon or Geoff and Jeff. I know three people who have different spellings for their names: Persephone, Persephoni and Persephonie. All are pronounced identically.
It's my favorite also. I remember a time when all of the audiobooks were on here. Aliens phalanx, Cold forge, River of Pain, and Isolation. The good old days.
It is a good novelization of one of the better Alien video games. Sarah Marlow Christensen did a great job with the character voices, and the narration.
i don't know how this would be, how scary it would be reading it vs audiobook vs seeing the movie first. the movie set details and visual and audio design were and still are amazing, a must see.
Radio horror was always scarier than film - film limits imagination - the same can be said of overly descriptive literature. There's a balance which is probably different for every consumer between giving enough info to stimulate the imagination and tying it down with so much that the experience is passively recieved.
If you hear anything in the background please report it. There’s a lot of background noise on my end especially at 20:50 - 33:27, 1:26:06 - 1:36:47, 2:31:05 - 2:51:06. I know, I am putting myself out there risking other people’s opinions, I could look either paranoid/dillusional or I’m pointing out things that are “better left hidden “ because if more people would find out I would be supposedly giving people permission to further the humiliation. Believe me, if you do find something I do not have the ability to do these recordings myself. Please report it if you are able to tell. I’ve been through a lot due to domestic abuse.
There was another audiobook for ALIEN that had a British Narrator, and not to knock on this one, since I like his Narration on Jurassic Park, but here on ALIEN I can't deal with his pronunciation of the Nostromo. Everytime I hear him say "NOStromo" it's like nails on a chalkboard. But sadly that Audiobook has been taken down, as well as the others on the ALIEN franchise and replaced with A.I. narrators...which are as soulless as a rock, smh
@@Raztax The Alien movie came out in 1979. This book came out in 1986. In this case the book did not come first, and was based on the movie. Not the other way around.
Audio is off hard to listen to, that said thank you for the upload :) I enjoyed falling to sleep in bed listening, that's not an insult but a compliment
I read the novel when I was 9 years old a couple months before watching it at the theater with my parents. The movie gave me nightmares for years but the novel didn't quite have the same effect, 🤣
Thank you for the upload, enjoyed the book although the audio is really bad quality. Also it's weird how the last word in every chapter repeats 4 times.
@@jaredoliver9347Who Goes There. Its the story The Thing was based on. Also if you like Lovecraft and old timey radio plays the HP Lovecraft Historical Society has some great Radio Drama adaptations of his stories on Audible.

😚🙌🎉This was the first book I specifically dedicated my baby sitting money to be able to buy at the local supermarket.
I'm glad he spelled out foster, I would have been lost otherwise
😂😂😂
Same, I had started to become lost 3 seconds into the narration 😂
Personally I sspelled it aling with him it was great
If you people think it's so easy why don't you read the book and do a Audio book about it

I love these old cassette audiobooks. There is nothing I couldn't listen to this dude read.
This is so cool, thanks for uploading 💚
Would love an upload of the Alien Isolation novelization, it was on TH-cam but seems to have been taken down.
I’ll see what i can do

@@saintelmo5590 I think it would be a great movie.
Thank you for posting this! It was fantastic.
A great book, really hope they shoot a movie of it
😁😁😁
Naa it would bomb in theatres
😂😂😂
Sigourney Weaver would be great in the lead.
@barrybarnes96 I bet if they made a sequel, it would probably be even better.
This is extremely cool! I'm a huge Alien fan.
6:09 "funny particular, not funny haha" 😂😂
LOL
Love this so much wish i could hear the rest of the movies
I'll do my best
Great upload!

Are those moments different from the actual book.
hahaha.. "Foster".. " F O S T E R"... educational as well as patronising.. awesome
I felt slapped by his tone.

100% agree...AI sucks at narrating books mostly 😂
Peter Guinness is the British/English guy you're referring to.
@@IndianOutlaw1870 I think so, yes.
Alien is back in theaters this week!
Seriously?
I really need to find these Audiobooks I can't find them anywhere
i love how ADF always changes things for his novelizations. there's no point in exactly replicating the original movie.

@@Raztax jesus christ man not everything has to be based on a book
@bluebirdsigma are you this much of a douchebag every day or is this a special occasion?
This is BRILLIANT.
Change the playback speed to 0.75
This definitely makes the Audio bearable
Seems like it was sped up before upload after you slow it down.
3:53:57 Bookmark.
5:00:10 Bookmark.
Is there background sound. is there conversation that differs from the actual book. Do you hear bird sounds.
Audio is off hard to listen to, that said thank you for the upload :)
I enjoyed falling to sleep in bed listening, that's not an insult but a compliment
I remember reading this when I was in high school. Yes, I was a nerd.
i know a nerd who read the omen.
Nerds, unite! 🤓
I read the book in 1979 goes very good with the flim great reading
Yes its a great flim
0:05 spelling out foster as i thought it was fosters that aliens don't give a xxxxenomorph for any xenomorph else
I wish the sound was remastered. This is a really hold audio, but I like is delivery.
I read the novel when I was 9 years old a couple months before watching it at the theater with my parents. The movie gave me nightmares for years but the novel didn't quite have the same effect, 🤣
There’s no theme music accompanying the novel.

"For once he dropped the omnipresent bullshit"
@@RolaiEckolo those are just bookmarks but yeah that was a good line.
Do you hear excessive background noise there. Do you hear talking in the background. How does the wording differ from the book.
1:05:06 save point for me
ADF wrote the first book?!😮I've heard he wrote some, but I thought they were side books.
No mention of the Space Jockey?
Can you re-upload Aliens?
I'm not allowed, because my channel will get banned again. Aliens and the others have specific rights
Ah yes...the fated voyage of the nostrimo
Thank you. Excellent narration.
Awesome thanks!
You are Welcome! more to come! Like & sub :)
Gracias
Is this guy the voice of HK-47? From KotoR?
Definitely sounds like him but I'm not sure
Close, but nahh. I can't unhear it now though lol
Same dude.

How does the wording differ from the actual book. Can anyone see if there is background sound here.
6:13:37
Is there background noise you can hear. Did you hear a bird. Was the story different from the book,
Great sorry and films it gets a ❤ from cmc.

Interesting...Interesting...Interesting....Interesting
I’m getting serious Paul Harvey vibes from the narrator.
It would be nice if at the end he said, "And that's the rest, of the story..."
@@kubrickenigma7977 that would’ve been the cherry on top!
I love that he can't pronounce Nostromo correctly. lol
N-O-S-T-R-O-M-O 😂
His pronunciation of "Zeta Reticuli" is especially cringey
I noticed that narrator pronounced several words incorrectly.
Who cares about pronunciation..... 'Grammar Gestapo, maybe....'
It’s ai
REE-TICK-YOU-LEE.
What about alien 3
Not allowed by TH-cam to upload
Ugh, that tedious opening about pro-dreaming...
Still, I left it on to lull me to sleep, and it led to some interesting dreams.
You have the attention span of a Nigerian zoomer on meth
😊
Pretty sure this was narrated by Noah Caldwell-Gervais from the future th-cam.com/video/IbsMebWrhDI/w-d-xo.html
the tin sound and sped up voice ruins it
Pretend you are listening to AM or short wave, then it's pretty fun. I grew up listening to AM, so it feels kind of nostalgic.
@@kubrickenigma7977 true mate gave it a re-listen not bad just spoilt modern ears I suppose. Forever a fan though
@@jaredoliver9347 Right on. Keep on bursting. ;)
@@kubrickenigma7977 any suggestions what to listen to id like to hear some old proper tin sound radio drama
@@jaredoliver9347Who Goes There. Its the story The Thing was based on.
Also if you like Lovecraft and old timey radio plays the HP Lovecraft Historical Society has some great Radio Drama adaptations of his stories on Audible.
If only it was narrated by a good British actor.
Classic reading.
Jonesyyyy ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Funny ha ha
I think this must be the bible cause I keep listening over and over again
5:39:00
Do you hear talking in the background there like I do. Can you tell what it says.
