"1 May 2017
The official release date of the novelization of ALIEN:COVENANT is 23 May. In it I have tried, as I always have over the years, to be as true as possible to the film while adding what original material I could. As for ALIEN:ORIGINS, the original novel that fits chronologically between PROMETHEUS and AC, in it I hope to have been able to have added a tiny bit to the canon. As always, I work as a combination author and fan, and I think (I hope) that comes through in the finished work."

MemberOvomorphMay-12-2017 9:14 AMYeah, we knew this. He listed the book as Alien: Origins on his site for a while and he said it will be set before Covenant, but i didn't read this until now. Thanks for sharing.
I'm looking forward to this A:C prequel book. I hope we will get some answer from it.

MemberFacehuggerMay-12-2017 9:22 AMHow much input will Ridley have had or is this all just purely from ADF's mind? I will read it either way but am less interested if it is the latter. I want Ridley to realize his original Prometheus 2 ideas onscreen at some point, or at least eventually explain everything through flashbacks, but I would settle for those things being incorporated into this novel.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched Androids blow and finger each other's flutes.

MemberChestbursterMay-12-2017 9:37 AM@phallic yes please on that! I want a true Prometheus 2 with less David and more Engineer/space jockey story

MemberChestbursterMay-12-2017 10:52 AMnow that sounds instantly more exciting than the A:C "story"
we will have to bend ridleys ear in the way the xeno fans got their way in a:c
im sure there are enough of us just on here.
200 tweets and 10 emails each per day is the quota. lol
still in the planning stages with it but if i can spend years thinking of what might be revealed in a:c after loving prometheus i can surely put some time into a fruitless option with little chance of any effect. sounds familiar.
Take This.... This is the blood of our lord

MemberChestbursterMay-12-2017 12:30 PMExcited. Hope the Originals releases on the same day as well. Prefer to read that first before Covenant.

MemberFacehuggerMay-15-2017 7:50 AMNo release date. Although September is listed for a sequel (or maybe a prequel). Nobody seems to know which it is.

Dont suppose you know any info on a Prometheus Official Novelisation do ya?.
I read there is one where Lindelof was involved that only got released in Japan. I'm baffled why there's not one we can buy in English.
