Alien: River of Pain

[Pale Rider]

Picked up the latest paperback book on the Alien franchise.
Here is the writing on the back cover:

The Official New Novel! Revealing the never-before-told story of Hadley's Hope, the doomed colony from the blockbuster film Alien.
RIVER OF PAIN
When Ellen Ripley finally returns to Earth, she learns that the planet LV-426 now called Acheron has been colonized. But LV-426 is where Ripley and the crew the of the Nostromo found the original Xenomorph-the killing machine known as the Alien. Protected by the Colonial Marines, the colonists seek to terraform the storm swept planet. Two such residents are Anne and Russell Jordan seeking a fortune that eluded them on Earth. On Acheron, Anne gives birth to the colony's first newborn. Rebecca Jordan also known as Newt.
The wildcatters discover a vast, decaying spaceship. The horseshoe-shaped vessel is of particular interest to the Weyland-Yutani, and may be the answer to their dreams. But what Anne and Russ find on board proves to be the stuff, not of dreams, but of nightmares.

Excellent read so far!!!!

I got this through the post back in Dec,

Was only a short read but good. Was wondering how they were going to tie it all in.

I certainly recommend the two prior to it.

I spent 30 minutes at books a million looking for them. Nada, nothing, zilch! Will have to order.
