Le remorqueur interstellaire Nostromo vogue vers la Terre, lointaine encore, quand son Cerveau central interrompt soudain l'hibernation de l'équipage. Venu d'un astéroïde inconnu, un appel de détresse a retenti. Le code spatial est formel et trois navigateurs se portent volontaires. Quand ils regagnent le Nostromo, l'un d'eux, inconscient, n'est plus qu'un poids mort porté par ses camarades : sur son visage s'est plaqué, incrusté, une sorte de mollusque-ventouse, doté d'un œil sans regard ... avec ce " huitième passager ", c'est la mort qui a pénétré dans l'astronef. un combat sans merci s'engage ...

ALIEN. Le huitième passager

The years that pass since this was first published and the (vague, time-eroded) knowledge of the film's essentials do not dilute the chills and suspense. The characters are rather pallid but that is to be expected in situational-based science fiction where the plot, world and their strangeness are supposed to be far more interesting than its entrants, but you know enough of them to share their fear and feel something about their deaths. No scene, no thought, no line is wasted in this excellent novelisation, Alan Dean Foster does just enough to trace the shape of dread.

The Covenant mission is the most ambitious endeavor in the history of Weyland-Yutani. A ship bound for Origae-6, carrying two thousand colonists beyond the limits of known space, this is 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 Lop� 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, Origins is the official chronicle of the events that led up to Alien: Covenant. It also reveals the world the colonists left behind.
