It was a huge honour, AND a major geek out moment, to play the role of Silent Dave
in this terrifying, cinematic multicast dramatisation. Alien: Sea Of Sorrows is 
directed by the multiaward-winning Dirk Maggs, best known for his adaptations of
Douglas Adams’ _Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy_ and Neil Gaiman’s _Neverwhere_
for the BBC – and is the sequel to Audible Originals’ _Alien: Out of the Shadows_(
nominated for Best Audio Drama at the 2017 Audies) and _Alien: River of Pain_.

Set 300 years after the events of _Alien: Out of the Shadows_ and _Alien: River 
of Pain_, _Alien: Sea of Sorrows_ deals with the rediscovery of dormant Xenomorphs(
Aliens) in the abandoned mines of LV-178, the planetoid from _Alien: Out of the 
Shadows_, which has now been terraformed and renamed New Galveston.

The Weyland-Yutani Corporation, reformed after the collapse of the United Systems
Military, continue their unceasing efforts to weaponise the creatures, eliciting
the help of Alan Decker, who is forced to join a team of mercenaries sent to investigate
an ancient excavation lurking deep beneath the planet’s toxic desert, dubbed the
Sea of Sorrows.

Somewhere in that long-forgotten dig lies the thing the company wants most in the
universe – a living Xenomorph. Decker doesn’t understand why the company needs him
until his genetic heritage comes back to haunt him. Centuries ago one of his ancestors
fought the Aliens, launching a bloody vendetta that was never satisfied. That was
when the creatures swore revenge on his forbear, ‘the Destroyer’, Ellen Ripley…and
all her descendants.
