Aliens

About this book

Ellen Ripley has survived the unthinkable. Adrift in a lifeboat for decades, she is finally rescued, only to find that the world she knew has moved on, and that the nightmare she escaped is still waiting for her. Aliens is Alan Dean Foster's novelization of James Cameron's screenplay for the sequel to Alien. When contact is lost with a colony on the distant world where the deadly creature was first discovered, Ripley is persuaded to return with a squad of hardened colonial marines. Armed with high-tech weapons and bravado, they are about to learn that nothing has prepared them for what lies ahead. Foster's prose turns the film's relentless tension into pure page-turning suspense. Expect claustrophobic corridors, failing technology, military grit and a fierce story of survival that explores courage, fear and the bonds formed under pressure. At roughly 79,000 words across 15 chapters, this is a fast, gripping read for fans of the film franchise and for anyone who loves classic science fiction horror. Whether you are revisiting the saga or discovering it for the first time, this novel delivers action, dread and unforgettable characters from the first page to the last.
