MemberPraetorianOctober 06, 2017After a long stretch, and considerable patience on the part of everyone here, ALIEN: Manticore is now finished and available on Scribd!
LINK: ALIEN: Manticore
As it is fan-fiction, it is--of course--available without charge.
Please take a moment to read the Dedication, as it is Dedicated to all of you here as well as those who built this beloved franchise. :)
Okay, here's the link to the story on Issuu...however I have to become a Premium publisher to be allowed to select the 'download' function for the audience.
HOWever...I have a work-around...though the formatting issue from converting from RTF to PDF are GLARING and bother me greatly, the story is still the same.
The following links SHOULD allow downloads if Scribd gives you grief.
I don't think you need to sign up for the trial on Scribd though, I think you can close that window/pop-up with the 'x' in the upper right corner and then use the 'download' function...but if not, there's the links below. :)

You're very welcome!!!
Thank-you in-kind also!!! :D

Thanks for saying guys!! :D
Yeah, it's a long book, and at one point I almost decided to make it a two-section piece with ALIEN: Manticore as well as ALIEN: Manticore 'Paradise' included. :D
However, that would have really delayed things, and could have caused other problems for readers, so I went back to the plan of releasing each as it's own work.
ALIEN: MANTICORE 'Paradise' is on my worktable, as is a short story I've had hanging around for a while which explores what I think is a satisfyingly different historical connection between The Alien and the Engineers...and can easily tie into the present-canon of David having been playing with trying to recreate certain past discoveries of the Engineers whilst still preserving The Alien as the magnificent nightmare it is. ;)

Thank-you for saying!! :)
Glad you consider it a 'holiday book', people can be very picky about such, so that classification means a lot to me!
As does you're mentioning that I beat out an established and quite well-known novelist in your choice of selection!!!
You can imagine what that means to me in hearing that!!
Also, of course, I'm very glad you're enjoying it!! Thank-you again for taking the time to let me know! :D

OH...damn. I have to re-do some links.
TOTALLY slipped my mind, and I apologize guys. I'll be getting on with that immediately after I post this.
First as Links here in the replies, then I'll re-do the others.
Again, sorry guys, entirely my goof-up.
Senientdark, TY for asking for the link, as I appreciate you wanting to read it and you also reminded of a LONG overdue thing I will now correct. :)

Here we go...
I moved things over to my 'Pen Name' account to simplify things...and forgot some crucial steps...again, I am sorry.
The links are set to open in a new window, just fyi, as I thought such makes it easier for people.
ALIEN: The Lander is a short stroy that directly ties-in to ALIEN: Manticore, just to say.
Doesn't matter what order you read them in as they are happening at the same time. :)

@ dk
TY!!
Nice to be back! I'll be around here more now as things are getting settled. Life has it's myriad demands and distractions as we all know :)
I might wander off now and then, but the ALIENverse is Home. :)
Be it ever so dark-scary and slobbery...there's no place like home. :D

...there's no place like home
Home is where the hugs are... :D
That said, and I loved the Wizard of Oz reference BTW. :) ...
I AM working on the follow-up to ALIEN: Manticore. However such is suspended until summer's done with, as when it gets too warm, I cannot think. Tried working through it, and the results of that experiment proved that yeah, I should just wait for Fall to continue with it.
I also working on some ideas for other tales set in the ALIENverse, different people and places, but a better look into what lay behind that simple/complex word that names our fave franchise. ;)
It's a BIG galaxy out there...and the word-concept 'ALIEN' covers a LOT of ground.

I will yeah, starting to get curious about the newest Predator film :)
