Title: Any new Alien/Predator books for 2022
Post by: felix on Aug 09, 2021, 04:47:13 AM
Anything in the pipeline for 2022.

I know we've getting a new AVP Anthology in Dec.

I expect we'll be finding out the next Alien novel once Gibson's comes out. And I'm aware of another book that's not been announced yet. But outside of that, all we're aware of is Ultimate Prey.

Gibson? Is William Gibson novelising his unmade 3? Because I'd take an original tale from him.

Author Pat Cadigan has a novelization of Gibson's first draft due out next month.

I'm really looking forward to that one. So keen to see how it turns out, because I actually hate his first draft. But his second is my favourite of the lot. I'm particularly curious to see how this one sits with me.

I have a good feeling about that one.

Hopefully it will hit the mark where in my view...

The others definitely have not done.

This hopefully still has a heartbeat and will be timed with the release of Predator 5/Skulls.

Not sure which draft became the comic and the audio drama, but that was a bit of a slog to get through. I think as a prose novel it might play a little better.

The other stuff was the second draft (my favourite), the novel is the first. The second - while still requiring polish - was a "better" experience. The first was just batshit crazy.

Still hoping for this one to be released as well.
