It's a Mad Mad World

Alien: Out of the Shadows was a fast paced and action filled book. I love the movies (rewatched Alien yesterday) and I was really looked forward to reading the book. I wasn't sure how they would, or even if they would explain how Ripley could be in this story since it takes place between Alien and Aliens, but they did. Perhaps a bit of an easy solution, but at least they explained it.

It was a great read. Perhaps not as terrifying as seeing the movies, but reading some part of the book was just at chilling as seeing it happened on the screen. Some parts was almost worse, it’s awful enough to see an alien burst from a chest, reading about it and the moments up to it wasn’t that nice either.
