“Alien: Testament” in Russian will be an official prequel from Alan Dean foster

Along with the premiere of cosmowarrior Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Covenant” (Alien: Covenant) publishing house “AST” released the official novelization authored by Alan Dean foster. This dude is a real expert in movie transcriptions on paper, Patriotic reader must remember him from back dashing nineties. Even in the comments in the Zone of Horrors was surprised, like, wow, he’s still alive?! Any alive! And prepared a new book.

In June we reported that “Alien: Testament” will get a prequel book. The machine, of course, foster. A new novel called “the Stranger. Covenant: the Beginning” (Alien: Covenant: Origins), and soon it will be released in Russian. Simultaneously (or almost simultaneously) with the original edition.

Official abstract:

The mission “the Covenant” – the most ambitious events in the history of the “weyland-Yutani”. A ship heading to Orhei-6 with two thousand colonists beyond the famous people of the cosmos, is capable of changing the fate of the Corporation and the future of all mankind.
However, there are those who are willing to die to disrupt the mission. At the time, “Covenant” is floating in earth orbit, several cases of violence reveal a terrifying conspiracy to sabotage the launch. Fortunately, while captain Jacob Branson and his wife, Daniels completed preparations for the launch, the head of security Daniel Lope recruiting another key for his team crew member. Together they aim to stop the criminals before the starship and its passengers can be destroyed.

The publishers are positioning the novel as the official chronicle of events that led to what we saw in the film. Furthermore, here the readers have a unique opportunity to see the world that the colonists left behind, going to distant cosmic depths, where, as you know, no one hears the screams. Overall, very curious.

The Russian translation worked Not Alice and Denis Priemyshev. Has been tampered with and we are well familiar, Alexander Davydov, with which we again got in touch to get hold of an exclusive review. What is there in “the Beginning”, and whether we will meet alien?

The Word Alexandra:

In “Early” very well uncovered a few characters. Even is insulting: how could such a real, not cardboard characters that in the course of this book came in a very sticky situation and managed to cope with them, to be then such “dolls” in “the Covenant.”
This is the real “beginning” – tell us how much effort, money and enthusiasm invested by humans to the mission of Covenant has taken place.
In the book, very good dynamics, entangled detective story, many characters with polar points of view on the events and, as a consequence, many conflicts. Sporadic clashes and skirmishes, one-on-one to almost large-scale military action.
And regarding the Others… Given that the novel is set on Earth and in earth orbit, the alien in physical incarnation in the book there. But this does not mean that they are not in the novel at all 🙂

On bookstore shelves novel “a Stranger. Covenant: the Beginning” is expected in October-November this year.
