The good folks over at Titan Books have kindly provided AvPGalaxy with a preview of Tim Lebbon’s Alien – Out of the Shadows, due out Monday the 20th:
“Several warning sirens blasted their individual songs—proximity alert; damage indicator; hull breach. People shouted in panic, confusion, and fear. And behind it all was a deep, rumbling roar from the ship itself. The Marion was in pain, and its vast bulk was grinding itself apart.
Lucy and Cornell, Hoop thought from his position on the floor. But whether they were alive or dead didn’t change anything right now. He was senior officer on the bridge. As scared and shocked as all of them, but he had to take charge.”
Be sure to check out the entire preview. For those interested in purchasing in the book you can find Alien – Out of the Shadow on Amazon (or your respective one). We will also be giving away copies of the novel very soon and keep an eye out for our review!
Hey guys, can we take discussion of the book as a while to this thread?
Thanks
It takes place in between the first 2 films. Apparently Ripley didn't spend all the 57 years between Alien and Aliens asleep.
And apparently she saw an alien once.
The fanwank is strong in this one.
If you like that, you're gonna love this...
At one point Ripley says to Hoop: "Now all we need a deck of cards..."
The "game over" reference made me cringe. I still have hope, though. Mostly boring preview.
No. There's an Alien in there somewhere....
Takes place 37 years after Alien. I'll do a spoiler-tagged breakdown soon.
The big deal on this book is that Ripley's in it and that she's woken on the way back to Earth and there's somehow an Alien in it.
And we get a preview of a collision in space? They couldn't even hint at Ripley or the Alien?
