Late November it was discovered that S.D Perry would be returning to the Alien literary world with the Weyland-Yutani Report:
“Inside Alien: The Weyland-Yutani Report, you will find detailed information on the life-cycle of the xenomorph, those who had the misfortune to come into contact with it, the habitats in which the creature has been encountered, and a breakdown of the most effective weapons to use against it, from pulse rifles to flamethrowers. The last word on the alien, Alien: The Weyland-Yutani Report contains all the information you’ll need to track down one of these creatures, and maybe even survive the encounter.
This in-universe book will utilize over thirty years’ worth of Alien movie concept art, production design art, film stills, and other visual assets to create a deeply engrossing reading experience that will thrill fans of the franchise. Covering events and characters from Prometheus, Alien, Aliens, Alien III and Alien Resurrection, Alien: The Weyland-Yutani Report will be a uniquely immersive journey into a world that has thrilled audiences for over three decades.“”
This was previewed at the New York Comic Con and it would seem no-one has really taken note of this release. It will evidently weigh in at 160 pages and 20 inserts, coming in hardback format for $50. Insight Editions is set to be publishing it but there’s currently nothing on their website about it. There is no release date as of yet. Thanks to Cvalda for the news.
Well, I guessed all what is listed at the specs over at Sideshow would finally release me from NDA
Not only the cover is mine
And I guess the Standard edition will be a very, very good buy as well.
As for freebies, please read the comment I stated a page before.
I have a feeling you had something to do with this too?
Not always. Never received a reply when I branched out to Insight. And S.D isn't very fast when it comes to replying to e-mails. I asked if she'd got a picture to go along with our interview ages ago and she's yet to reply. I'll poke her again.
I'll definitely pick up a standard edition.
Cheers mate. But content will beat the cover, at least I hope so
But never mind that - cover by one of AvPGs finest AND Boba Fett.
Whoever the hell that Middlebrook, S. person is, he/she ain't cheap that's for sure.

And Morse's novel was 'The Dragon' - Space Beast would be an odd choice for a title, especially when the original script draft's title was Star Beast.
I liked the installment payment option: "Payment options as low as $73.13 a month."
$325 is a straight vertical drop into a cash abyss.
When Cvalda and Local Trouble said it wasn't on Amazon, I contacted Insight and they said it was going to go through Sideshow - but I wasn't at liberty to mention it.
$325 is steep. But it sure look purty.
Well, give the man a round of applause!
Looks like some sort of secreted resin.
Still hope You give it a shot
I'm wondering what material is used for the sculpted cover?
The price is more than I can afford.
I'm guessing the trade edition will be like an upgraded version of ALIEN Vault with slipcase...sans scuplting.
Thought we'd already seen this?
Can't say I'm willing to shell out for that.
Recommend prescription of Lufenuron and Methoprene.
Any idea how much of that (if any) is exclusive to the Collector's Edition?
And some interesting stuff in the book:
I hope the standard edition is more reasonable.
He's still got my name spelled wrong on his site, but that's okay.
Locusta knows what's up.
Not like this is the first time an "official" source has used something SM made, anyway.
