Alien: Covenant Origins

The Official Prequel to the Blockbuster Film

By: Alan Dean Foster

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

The Covenant mission is the most ambitious endeavor in the history of Weyland-Yutani. A ship bound for Origae-6, carrying 2,000 colonists beyond the limits of known space, this is a make-or-break investment for the corporation - and for the future of all mankind.

Yet there are those who would die to stop the mission. As the colony ship hovers in Earth orbit, several violent events reveal a deadly conspiracy to sabotage the launch. While Captain Jacob Branson and his wife, Daniels, complete their preparations, security chief Daniel Lope recruits the final key member of his team. Together they seek to stop the perpetrators before the ship and its passengers can be destroyed.

An original novel by the acclaimed Alan Dean Foster, author of the groundbreaking Alien novelization, Alien: Covenant Origins is the official chronicle of the events that led up to Alien: Covenant. It also reveals the world the colonists left behind.

Amazing performance. Interesting story

The narrator flawlessly pulled of a dozen voices and accents. Story was interesting. Not very atmospheric though. A good listen for Alien fans

Good

fun to read the beginnings while knowing what is going to happen. the narrator has a really soothing voice so it took me awhile to finish it cause I'd listen to it before bed lol but it is definitely good!

Great book, narrator switches between saying OTBD and OTDB which is annoying

As title says. A pivotal saying in the book is OT, BD and he gets it wrong often which really ruined my immersion

Good not great!

Im new to Alien novel franchise and while I did find this background info interesting to greater understand the state of Earth and politics behind why the colonization missions intially took place, this book gets kind of boring. Not a lot of action, but a lot of politics and sabotage plots. Overall I enjoyed it because of the background info learned, but an action packed aliens novel it is not.

At least I know what Earth is like.

Wish I could say it was a good book but average at best. Really gives no back story that anyone cares about since we know what happens in the movie. Narrator was okay. Had enough tones to make it less boring to me.
