Do not give up on the Alien series and do not just limit yourself to just the movies Alien and Aliens. I enjoyed it in a way that I have not been able to since first seeing it when I was ten. And having read the novelization, l re-watched Aliens 3: Director’s Cut. Comparatively, the novelization is better than the film.Ī must read for the millions who were disappointed with the film.

published in multiple languages including English, consists of 352 pages and is available in Paperback format for offline reading. One of the Best Works of Alan Dean Foster. The book has been awarded with Booker Prize, Edgar Awards and many others. Many assumptions are removed from the film, providing at time obvious answers for certain character motivations but also offering additional dialogue that just helps the film’s plot roll much more smoothly. The main characters of Alien: Covenant novel are John, Emma. Also, Golik’s developed telepathic connection to the new warrior-drone Xenomorph is fleshed out in the novelization, which is very satisfying for anyone who has read Steve Perry’s novels. Superintendent Andrews makes much more sense in the novel, a respecttable prison warden who is scared of Weyland and its massive political-power and not just a jerk who ignores immediate danger to save routine and order. Yet, in Foster’s story it finally dawned on me that the apocalyptic-themed maximum-security prison and the newly enhanced Xenomorph, coupled with the queen growing inside the “queen-slayer:” it is a chance for a new beginning and that the slayer and the dragon (Xenomorph) must both be destroyed to prevent the “apocalypse.” Much like Christ, Ripley must defeat evil through death, and later resurrection (the film Alien Resurrection). I had never been able to connect Ripley to Clemens, the “accidental-homicidal doctor,” or to the queen growing inside of her. Now, a few days later, I am still surprised at how much I enjoy the story. I wanted to write the review immediately afterward but did not want to come off too much of a “fan boy” while still basking in amazement with a wonderful reading buzz. Due to its brevity and my surprised enjoyment, I read the novel in one sitting.

So, perhaps it’s safer to just stick to the Foster’s story and a comparison with the film they actually made.įoster saved Alien 3 and gave it new life for this reviewer. This is a point addressing the film’s story and not Foster’s novelization. Yet, I can’t help but wonder what the story would have “felt” like to have had devoted monks instead of barbaric prisoners for the Xenomorph’s supper menu. Much of the theme was kept with the inclusion of Dillon’s character and his followers who chose to stay as custodians for a mining colony turned maximum-security facility. The original draft for Alien 3 was for Ripley to crash land on a planet in the outer system that was home to a monastery. Those familiar with the film will not find any spoilers here, for those who have not seen the film, there will be several plot points discussed in this review. Even ten years ago when I watched the Director’s Cut, I was still left wondering exactly what I was suppose to feel about Ellen Ripley’s final battle with the Xenomorph. Like so many-like millions- who were disappointed with David Fincher’s 1993 film, I did not expect Foster’s novel to change my mind about the “original” conclusion to the Alien franchise.

WOW! I have not said that in a while and this reviewer surely did not expect that word to come from Alan Dean Foster’s 247-page novelization of Alien 3.
