ALIEN 3: The Official Movie Novelization, by Alan Dean Foster

Narrated by Peter Guinness

     Gotta Love Those Double-Y Chromo Boys

This is the least popular movie in the series but I, for one, always found it to be a stand out and a worthy component. It brings to the table a return to the gothic horror of the first movie and introduces the fans to a bizarre planetary prison setting and quirky characters. It is the Science Fiction equivalent of a closed-door mystery; smaller in scale to raise the suspense. This novelization closely follows the director’s cut of the movie, and will have some differences to those not familiar with that alternate version.

Peter Guinness reprises his efforts from the first book in the series and submits a passable performance.
