Title: Alien Novelization Giveaway
Post by: Corporal Hicks on Apr 03, 2014, 11:05:34 AM

Our good friends over at Titan Books have provided AvPGalaxy with 3 copies of the new re-print of Alan Dean Foster’s Alien novelization:

“The crew of the Nostromo, a commercial deep-space mining ship, investigates a mysterious signal. Landing on planet LV-426, they discover a massive extraterrestrial and a nest of strange eggs. They bring back to the ship an Alien which, as it grows, stalks and picks off the crew, one-by-one, until only Ellen Ripley remains.”

Why would you or anyone be on this forum as a registered user if they haven't seen the original Alien?

Just saw this new reprint on a shelf at a bookstore the other day, and let me tell you, I felt like an idiot walking up to the counter with it. I already have an original from 79, the "special edition" where they removed all the swearing, the 86 reissue where they changed the logo, and the SFBC hardcover edition, and now I own five - five freaking copies of the same damn book. This mental condition of mine is starting to get dangerous - both to my personal health and that of my shelves.

I haven't had chance to ship these off but I'm gonna do it next week. They're all packaged up with a copy of Aliens Epilogue waiting to go out.

And Lol Domino! That's a lot of copies! I've only got the Omnibus and this. Didn't know they'd done a swearless edit?
