Alien -- No espaço ninguém nos ouve gritar… Aquilo não era a sua galáxia. Um sol estranho iluminava o céu com os seus raios alaranjados. Durante a longa hibernação, os sete viajantes do espaço haviam deixado para trás o seu próprio universo e agora o monitor dizia-lhes que no planeta, lá em baixo, alguém estava a emitir sinais de socorro. De acordo com as leis do espaço, eles deveriam descer e prestar assistência. Mas teriam de ir armados, porque não sabiam quem os estava a chamar, nem porquê. Tudo o que sabiam era que se tratava de um ser alienígena… [Elementos para a capa gentilmente cedidos por Filmes Castello Lopes / Portugal].

[Editorial Reviews] "Foster’s treatment of the source material has only enhanced my appreciation for this classic story." - Blogcritics "The book was well written, it filled in a few gaps in the film that I didn’t know needed to be filled until I read them, and it put the film in a different context, which may color my next viewing. If you consider yourself a fan of the film, it’s worth checking out." -- Top Hat Sasquatch "A hell of a fun and terrifying read. It’s one I recommend to anyone who loves the film or a good old fashioned sci-fi romp through the hell in our stars." -- Ravenous Monster “In text form the primal dread conjured by its events and themes is as timeless as the cold and empty darkness from which it spreads. 9/10.” -- Starburst “The official novelization is a stroll-back to memory lane of sweat inducing horrors.” -– Retrenders “An open door to the ALIENS universe that offers the curious even more information about the dangerous world of the films.” –- Suvudu “Worthy to be on your shelf if you consider yourself a fan of the film.” –- Retroist "Manages to capture the emotion and terror of the film." -- Geek Girl Project "As timeless as the movie that spawned it" -- Den of Geek [About the Author]: Alan Dean Foster's work to date includes excursions into hard science-fiction, fantasy, horror, detective, western, historical, and contemporary fiction.
