ALIEN: Out of the Shadows (Novel 1)

[SM]

"And this is my good buddy, Cleave Hunter..."

Corman Porn star gold, I tell you!

[Cvalda]

Hi, the name's Standard, Chaz Standard.

Excuse me waiter, but I actually ordered the Chaz Deluxe.

[maledoro]

Cleave Hunter sounds like a serial killer.

[Xenomrph]

Beware..... the CLEAVE HUNTER. He stalks the night, preying on the innocent!

[Jarac]

Yeah, I remember seeing this on Amazon a few days back. I hope it's actually good. The franchise really needs something good to happen to it for once (well, besides Aliens: Infestation).

[Xenomorphine]

Temptation... To put... Cheesy character names... In fan-film... Rising...

[Xenomrph]

I've tossed the idea around for a while now.

[EJA]

I wonder if this book will bring in Prometheus, AVP, or the Aliens: Colonial Marines 2013 game?

[Sexy Poot]

Hopefully NONE OF THEM.

[EJA]

Why wouldn't they reference Prometheus?

[SM]

Licensing.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Licensing.

This is being done by Titan, who published all of the Prometheus stuff. If it were Dark Horse making this book, then there'd be a problem.

[SM]

Depends on the terms of the license I suppose.  If you write an Alien book you can't just drop Prometheus stuff in willy-nilly, without also licensing Prometheus for EU fiction (or whatever the industy term would be).  Their license may allow them to include both.  Or not.  I'm not familiar with how it all works.

[Xenomrph]

Yeah, they might have to license it separately, or it might be some kind of package deal. At the least it looks like they have the 'Alien' and 'Aliens' license, but I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to get Prometheus as well. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[predxeno]

I hope this book doesn't reference Prometheus stuff, I think it would be better if it was just pure Alien universe material (stuff only introduced in the Quadrilogy).
