![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As the plot of the novel revolves around terrorist attempts at stopping the ship departing, putting security officers to the fore makes sense, but any interest for the reader is dampened from the outset as you already know any plot fails. Reading it, you get the sense elements have been removed, whether by the author himself, or under advice from the studio, and while it is Daniels and Tennessee, the central characters of the film you’re interested in, it is lesser figures Lope and Rosenthal who take centre stage here. But it poses more questions than it answers, gives little insight into characters you want to know more about and given that there were never going to be any Aliens, you have to wonder why the novel exists at all.Īlan Dean Foster has a history of creating impressive movie novelisations within the Alien universe, but this original work feels somewhat underdeveloped. Set in the period between the Prometheus and Alien: Covenant films, it focuses on a cult’s attempt at preventing the latter ship from departing Earth’s orbit. Alien: Covenant Origins is a confusing reading experience. ![]()
