Also, Abnett's story is called Reaper. Fingers crossed it has the Reaper aliens from that old comic.

[The Alien Predator]

Wow, that's really interesting! The

giant flying squids is going into the weird aliens territory that South China Sea loved exploring in the Predator's flashbacks. I also hope the Reapers show up again, that's be epic.

Do we need iTunes to read the preview? I can't see it on the browser.

[Engineer]

Probably need iBooks app

[Ultramorph]

Yeah unfortunately you need an iPhone. Google abooks should have the same preview up shortly.

[The Alien Predator]

Hopefully. I remember GoogleBooks eventually had the Rage War books up even before they got released.

Good 'cos it's murder trying to access it through iTunes.

Click the link above, takes you to the iTunes webpage, click the button to access through the iTunes app, it tries to download iTunes which I already have.
Search in iTunes app, no results.
Try it via iPhone, 'Not available in your iTunes store do you want to change?' - yes please.  Search finally able to find it on ITunes store on my phone.  Click Sample, 3/4 loads, button reverts back to Sample.

Think I'll wait...

[Engineer]

I had no trouble on my iPhone...

By the way, the ALIEN COVENANT prequel book is titled ALIEN COVENANT: ORIGINS.

I notice there will be a hardback edition as well as the regular paperback.

Also the release date says April 18... Surprised they'd release it so close to Alien Day, but not actually on the day itself.

Fu*k me that's an ugly rendition of an alien.

Tell me about it. Really hoping Titan start to do original covers instead of all these game screenshots and bad photoshop jobs. 

I enjoyed the first story! I've not bothered starting Abnett's since it cuts off after a few pages. Quite enjoyed the first one. Pretty fun and nice to see some variety in there! Not sure why the need to mention it being in the same system as Zeta 2 Reticuli, though. Loved the visuals of the hive though. That was pretty cool. I liked the end...thought the description of the egg was odd though. Guess it was a baby one?

Glad they make a point in the introduction about this not being intended to be treated as canonical...

[HuDaFuK]

Having now read the synopsis in Galaxy's news article, I'm a little disappointed it sounds like this is mostly going to be about Marines fighting Aliens time and time again.

I was kinda hoping the majority of the stories would be about something new and different.
