"When Alien thrilled cinema audiences in 1979, no one could have imagined the horror that was to last almost fifteen years. Now, at last, the complete and riveting story of the battle against the most terrifying enemy ever can be told."

All 3 books in one.

RELEASE NOTES:

Into one of the Ray It Forward Boookbags. Enjoy :o)

Removed from the "Ray It Forward" Bookbag. Maybe I will and maybe I won't - read it that is! If not, I'll find it a good home. Thanks froggirlwendy.

Lets be realistic - it's just not gonna make the summit!
Sending on a trip as a companion hitchhiker.

In space no one can hear you scream ... and I think the same could be said for underneath the lovely pile of books I got from crimson-tide! :oD

My review for Alien: This is the novel based on the movie of the same name, printed in an omnibus edition along with Aliens and Alien 3. The crew of the cargo ship Nostromo are awoken from cryosleep by a distress call eminating from a planetary system they pass though. When they arrive, they discover a deserted ship on the surface of the planet, which is hiding a horrific surprise.

I've never seen the movie, which is shameful, as this is one of the seminal science fiction movies, and one of the only few to have a female hero. I will have to go see the movie now because the story is brilliant. Sure it's predictable, but it's a wild ride.

My review for Aliens:
Book based on the sequel to the science fiction classic Alien, Aliens. Ellen Ripley returns to Earth after spending over fifty years in hypersleep and then must journey back to the planet where she encountered the alien to again face her nightmare.

Like the first book, this one had more detail than the movie (which I watched not long ago). I think maybe some of the stuff that was on the original screenplay but ended up on the cutting room floor is in the book. It's no great work of literature, just a bit of action-fun-dumbness.

Have finally finished this! Here's what I thought of Alien3:
This is not a bad story, I really enjoyed the movie and the novel is very similar. However, at times it read like there was more than one author - it could have done with a bit more editing.
