With the new Alien novel comes a revisiting of my collection. I’ve been “collecting” the Aliens novels since my high school years, if not a bit before. Unfortunately I’m still missing some, but still quite enjoy the run I do have of these…
The original trilogy of novelizations, all by Alan Dean Foster.
These novels are based on the various comics published by Dark Horse, though I didn’t learn that until years later, having never paid attention to the indicia–or it never “registered” with me. I simply enjoyed them for what they were…especially the initial trilogy.
A few years ago, I caught up on these–a newer series of novels, again from Dark Horse, but I don’t think they were adaptations.
My introduction to Predator was through these novels. It was a number of years later before I finally saw the Predator films, though. I recall looking forward to the initial AVP film, but being quite disappointed In the result.
And now some new novels are out, and I’m intending to get back into reading Aliens for 2015.
