I know absolutely nothing about space sci fi novels.

Takes place just before the start of Aliens and goes into the first act of Aliens (when Ripley and the Colonial Marines go to LV-426). It covers the story of the colonists who discover the crashed ship that Ripley found in Alien (1).
I've never listened to an audiodrama before, this was superb. As its canon for the Alien universe timeline it fleshes out the colonists and colonial marines stationed at lv-426. It would make a very good movie. Makes me want to go back and watch Aliens again now.
Now onto the next canon audiodrama: Alien: Out of Shadows. Covers the events of what happen to Ripley after the end of Alien when she went to sleep in the hyper sleep chamber and before shes found 57 years later and taken to gateway station.
