Written by Christopher Golden, River of Pain is both very different to its two predecessor novels but also quite the same in many regards. Let's be real. We forgot about the PDTs!” It was a really disappointing moment. ALIEN: RIVER OF PAIN is the third book in the new Titan Books trilogy billed as canonical companion pieces to the movies. I'm interested to see if the novelizations Titan has put out are any different to the original version to integrate the new bits, although everything from Out of the Shadows has been completely shoved aside in this novel, except a brief and I think accidental mention of the ship near the end of this book. I can’t see any particular reason why they were changed and it’s not a massive problem.

This was my second favorite book out of the newer three Alien books, Out of the Shadows being my favorite and Sea of Sorrows my least favorite. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

Back at Gateway Station, Burke and Lieutenant Gorman visit Ellen Ripley to inform her of the loss of contact with Hadley's Hope.

Alien: River of Pain is a 2014 novel written by Christopher Golden and published by Titan Books. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of. The inclusion of the marines was mandated by Fox. It completely lacked the emotional resonance that Newt’s rescue would have created and left the conclusion a little empty. The book is currently slated for a November 2014 release. I have not read the book myself, but just thinking about the inclusion of the marines you mention sounds terrible! "Alien: River of Pain" aims to chronicle the events that take place at the Hadley's Hope colony on LV-426 (aka "Acheron") that lead to the loss of communications with earth, eventually prompting a team of colonial marines to come investigate (with Ellen Ripley and the greedy Weyland-Yutani executive Carter Burke in tow.)

I’m not sure why Christopher opted to change them but it does make it seem a little lazy to those that know the dialogue off-hand.

Golden co-wrote the lavishly illustrated novel Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire with Mike Mignola, which they are currently scripting as a feature film. Welcome back. During the chaos, a dying Hidalgo reveals to Brackett that the science team, not knowing what exactly they might find on Acheron, hid a secret escape ship in the colony that can now be used to flee. This is where I feel the ending fell down as the novel had put particular emphasize on how important it was for Brackett to save Newt and instead, just pages before the end of the novel, he takes Luisa instead.
