![]() ![]() ![]() The differences between the films and the novels are really interesting, whether they be scenes deleted from the finished film or additions from the author, it’s just fascinating to see the differences. It’s that simple as far as I’m concerned. I think anyone who is interested in the films and enjoys reading should read these novelizations. The big difference here is that Foster is in a position to do something about those concerns.Īnyone who has read my previous reviews for the film novelizations will know I can’t rate them. ![]() So when I saw he would be writing not only the novelization for Alien: Covenant but a completely original tie-in, I was pretty damn excited.Īnd not only because I really enjoyed his original 3 Alien novelizations but because I knew he would be approaching the novelization as not just another job, but as an Alien fan with the same concerns that many of us would have with the film. For those who might not have ventured into the expanded universe, Alan Dean Foster was responsible for the novelizations of Alien, Aliens and Alien 3.Īfter the bad experience he’d had writing Alien 3, Alan Dean Foster turned down the opportunity to work on Alien Resurrection and hasn’t worked on an Alien novel since 1992. However, for the fans out there who like to read the novels the names Steve Perry and Alan Dean Foster are just as intertwined with the series. The obvious ones being the likes of Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, H.R Giger. There are certain names that you just associate with Alien. ![]()
