Convict

By: Michael Cole

Narrated by: Jack Clancy

It has killed over a thousand lifeforms on a thousand planets. There is no motive for its crimes other than for the thrill of bloodshed. As cunning as it is ruthless, it has escaped captivity from the galactic marshals of its home world.

An intergalactic Convict, it feels no sympathy, remorse, or any sense of moral code. All it knows is the pleasure from the pain and suffering it causes, and the drive to inflict more of it.

Now, it has found new hunting ground on a lush green and blue planet: Earth. There, the Convict finds a whole new species to satisfy its bloodlust. After landing its ship in a wooded area, the Convict enjoys hacking up campers, hikers, and anyone else unlucky enough to wander nearby.

Its recreational killing spree brings the Convict to a pair of cabins near the lake. One is packed full of young adults trying to get away from everyday life. The other is occupied by disgraced police officer Diego Tritton. Fired for use of excessive force, he has a severe distaste for criminals—no matter which galaxy they’re from.

Predator meets Serial Killer

Convict by Michael Cole is a great story. What I really liked was that the convicts species was similar to humans on a mental level. This truly showed how evil the convict really was compared to others of its own species. I also enjoyed how we got so much time with the convict that he felt more like a character than just another killer alien. The plot flows really well and is always enjoyable. As for the narrator Jack Clancy he did a phenomenal job telling this story. He really brought characters as well as the situation to life. All in all Convict is def worth the read or listen.

A different version of Predator

Okay so the first time I saw the title I figured why not give it a try. Then when I got to reading the description of the book and saw the cover, it started sounding more like the author took many things from the Predator movies and tried to make the Predator into a convict instead of coming up with something completely new and original.
