May 1st update from ADF's website.

QuoteAs for ALIEN:ORIGINS, the original novel that fits chronologically between PROMETHEUS and AC, in it I hope to have been able to have added a tiny bit to the canon. As always, I work as a combination author and fan, and I think (I hope) that comes through in the finished work.

David found xenomorph recipe ?

Maybe. Most likely

what exactly happened to Shaw.

I expect that is what to the novel will focus around. Hopefully we'll get a bigger picture of what David mentioned in the Crossing too and find out what lead to his actions.

I'm holding out hope Foster will drop some hints that David may actually have re-created the Aliens from designs left behind by the Engineers.

If Ridley is not involved in any way with the novels and probably isn't even aware of them being made... Foster could fix any of the nonsense from Covenant, we might actually get some answers.

I hope we get more info on the engineers.

He might just do that in the Covenant novelization as well, which is out next week.

Corporal Hicks

ADF is the kind of person who will ask the same questions we do. But he's in a position to try and come up with "official" answers so I expect we'll see some nice expansion on the movie.

Just got an email from Amazon regarding the Alan Dean Foster original prequel novel to Alien Covenant (ALIEN:ORIGINS I think the title) which had a pretty firm September publishing date. Now seems that date has been dropped and they have no idea of a new date. Got the "Currently unavailable -we don't know when or if this item will be back in stock" message. Wondering if  this due to the wider failure of the film? Do the publishers now believe there isn't the interest/market or have Fox nixed Ridley's Alien universe-building ambitions? Hopefully just a publisher delay?

I hope not. I was really looking forward to that.

It might just be a glitch. Mine says it's still available for a September 26th release as well.

If it's not just a glitch it could be that the story might be integrated into Awakening. One can dream.

Amazon US still has it listed for September release. God, I hope this doesn't get pulled.
