im in the process of getting the complete additional material on the extended universe with the books and comics. which of these do u think r the best read and which concepts, such as alien king, royal jelly, red xeno hive etc r the best and which would u like to see in a movie? I am reading river of pain right now and love the parts where mamma and papa Jorden go into the derelict and find the long since dead xenos and engineers, embroiled in an obvious battle

not had a chance yet. I got the trilogy (out of the shadows, sea of sorrow and river of pain) along with the alien and aliens novelisations. read the trilogy and a really good read. I got the fire and stone omnibus aswell and that was excellent. going to go online and see what else is available. any suggestions?

don't think so. I have steel egg which is a very good read. the books and comics give so many ideas about how things came together. river of pain took a bit to get going but out of all the books and comics iv read, this book gives me the most memorable aspect of the derelict (don't wanna spoil it though im sure I have in previous posts lol) and could so easily be done brilliantly on screen

yes. in the synopsis, it is headlined 'the first battle begins'. takes place in orbit around Saturn and earth has pretty much split into 2 factions.

Everything prior to Out Of The Shadows, it's best to not pay attention to timelines.  The DH Press books don't pay much attention to the wider continuity.

Original Sin was a bit meh.  The characters from Resurrection didn't really ring true from where we left them at the end of the film.
