![]() ![]() The resulting story itself is good, and Foster does a great job of telling it. As you can imagine things go pear-shaped from there. ![]() As they need the time to repair anyhow they decide to investigate. While said crew members are up and about they receive what appears to be a human distress call from a nearby, unknown, uncharted planet. ![]() Things don't go smoothly though and the ship sustains some damage, forcing crew members out of statis for repairs. The ship is already on-route to the distant planet Origae-6 where it is hoped the settlers can terraform the planet and create a viable human outpost. The story begins over a decade after the events of Prometheus and concerns the colony ship Covenant. Thankfully the story, at least this version penned by the talented Alan Dean Foster, is much better than it's predecessor.įor those who don't know, it was Foster who wrote the novelisations for the original Aliens stories in the 1970's and 1980's. As a fan, Prometheus has made me wary of watching Alien: Covenant. I've watched all the films of course (the first two many times), including the dreadful Prometheus which promised much but delivered nothing. I've watched and read the Aliens vs Predator crossover media, some which is great, some not so great. I've read all the books, including the expanded universe (non-canonical) ones from Bantam, and more recently from Titan books. I've been a big fan of the Aliens series ever since I saw the first film back in the 1980's. ![]()
