It reprints all three Alien movie tie-ins, written by Alan Dean Foster (also noteworthy to add that they're the only good ones.) They're all in one single paperback volume. The books themselves are great.The first novel centers around the plot of the first film, but slightly differs. Many fans believe that Foster based the novel off of an earlier shooting script or draft of the screenplay. It does not include any scenes from the director's cut, that I can recall. The last part of the book got slightly boring, when Ripley is struggling to get off of the Nostromo. The build-up to the ending sequence was slow, and ended early.The second novel centers around Aliens, and I liked that novel better. It goes a little more in-depth with the atmosphere and world of the films than the others.The third novel was an interesting read. It would have certainly been interesting to see the novel stray from the film's storyline and instead go by the canon of the pitched versions-- Aliens on Earth, or the "wooden planet" with the monks that the Sulaco crashes in to. It's been many years since i've heard anything about either of those, but I imagine there were good reasons those plot elements got scrapped altogether. Anyway, before I get off on a tangent, I will just say that the third novel wasn't the best of the three, but, I am a huge fan and did enjoy it.If you can find a copy of this omnibus, I'd recommend purchasing it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have item for the hardcore fan and very good reading for the average *by Y***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2007* This book contains the novelizations of the three first movies, all written by Alan Dean Foster (not as I first thought that the book of "Alien" came first than the movie). "Alien", was not 'based on the screeplay by...' (meaning that is based upon the story, but not the film) as the other two, being a little different from what the movie is. "Aliens" and "Alien 3" are based upon the movie, in spite of that the third one actualy is a little different from the movie itself in some aspects (for example, the alien in this novelizations does not offspring from a dog), resulting that "Aliens" is the one most very loyal to the movie.This book is a must have for the hardcore fan of "Aliens", since it goes around other aspects that would be difficult to show in the films. It is also a great reading for the average fan, since Alan Dean Foster is such a talented writer. And besides, are three books in one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a HUGE fan of the Alien series. I ... *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2016* I'm a HUGE fan of the Alien series. I have seen all the movies, but the book offers the deepest descriptions. The author writes so well that the images literally come to life in my imagination. Scary and intriguing at the same time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/96235676-the-complete-alien-omnibus](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/96235676-the-complete-alien-omnibus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
