Alien: River of Pain (Novel #3) Christopher Golden

The Alien film franchise has been embraced by sci-fi fans around the world. The film series stars Lieutenant Ellen Ripley and her battles with the deadly Xenomorph, commonly referred to as the Alien. For the first time, this novel will reveal the secrets behind the colonization of LV-426, the planet where the Alien was first found in Alien, and the setting for Aliens where a sole survivor was discovered - a young girl named Newt.

Produced by Twentieth Century Fox, the franchise launched with the release of the 1979 film, Alien. The film release led to three very successful movie sequels, numerous books, comics and video game spinoffs. This third novel and its two tightly plotted predecessors will directly relate to the first two films of the franchise, expanding the canon like never before.
