About this ebook
The official new novel set between the events of Alien and Aliens An original novel based on the blockbuster films from 20th Century Fox Out Of The Shadows As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell—and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. there was evil, hibernating—and waiting for suitable prey. Hoop and his associates uncover a nest of Xenomorphs, and hell takes on new meaning. Quickly they discover that their only hope lies with the unlikeliest of saviors... Ellen Ripley, the last human survivor of the salvage ship Nostromo.

Book started off really well. Was hooked up until about 3/4 in to it. Its a story shoe horned between alien and aliens but the ending was predictable and almost boring to a point where it made no sense in the movie universe.

Don't get me wrong this is a 100% pointless filler...but a good story nonetheless. Makes you question alot of things in the Alien/Ripley lore...highly recommend.

Almost better than the first movie, excellent. Some passages descriptions are pretty difficult to get a grip on The environment, but overall a surprising page turner!
