Alien the book

Greetings, several weeks ago I read the book of the classic sci-fi horror Alien. It was written by Allen Dean Foster and is a reasonably short book, a crew of seven including Jones are wakened from a deep sleep by the computer known as Mother. The team aboard the Nomstro had been directed towards an alien planet due to an undecyphrable signal. So under the command of Dallas they go to check it out, once they entered the planet Dllas, Jones and Lambert track the signal. Ripley, Bret, Parker, Ash and Jones are left on duty on the ship. The team who tracked the signal, find an alien ship and decide to explore it. Kane is attacked by a face hugger when he is deep down a shaft, after his attempts to remove it, he becomes unconcious. Dallas and Lambert become alert as they had heard something attacking Kane and pull him up out of the shaft back to the Nomstro. It is a good book,but the first seventy odd pages are a bit dull, it has encouraged me to see the film. The eleventh chapter of the Secret battle for Earth is up in Warehouse 17.

Quote of the day

There is a storm on the horizon. A time of hardship and pain. The battle has been won, but the war against machines rages on. Skynet's global network remains strong, but we will not quit, until all of it's destroyed. This is John Connor. There is no fate but what we make.

If you did enjoy the book, then you should really like the film - the thing the book is based of. Plus, Sigourney Weaver is in it!
