Alien: Covenant - The Official Movie Novelization

About this book

Return to the terrifying universe of Alien in the official novelization of Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant, written by veteran science fiction author Alan Dean Foster. The colony ship Covenant is carrying thousands of sleeping colonists and embryos toward Origae-6, a remote planet where humanity hopes to build a new home. When a catastrophic event wakes the crew from hibernation, they intercept a mysterious transmission from a nearby world that seems to be an uncharted paradise. It is closer, it looks habitable, and it could be the answer they have been searching for. But the crew soon discover that this apparent Eden hides a dark and dangerous secret. Something is waiting for them there, and the only inhabitant who seems to know the truth is the synthetic man David, whose origins reach back to the ill-fated Prometheus expedition. This novel opens with the creation of David himself, offering an unsettling look into the mind of an artificial being. Foster expands the film's story with extra detail, atmosphere and inner thought, delivering claustrophobic suspense, body horror and big questions about creation, obsession and survival. A must-read for fans of the Alien franchise, space horror and hard-edged science fiction. Start reading online instantly in your browser, with no waiting and no downloads.
