Summary

The first-draft Alien screenplay by William Gibson， the founder of cyberpunk， turned into a novel by Pat Cadigan， the Hugo Award-Winning "Queen of Cyberpunk。"

William Gibson's never-before-adapted screenplay for the direct sequel to Aliens， revealing the fates of Ripley， Newt， the synthetic Bishop， and Corporal Hicks。 When the Colonial Marines vessel Sulaco docks with space station and military installation Anchorpoint， a new form of Xenomorph appears。 Written by Hugo Award-winning novelist and "Queen of Cyberpunk" Pat Cadigan， based on Gibson's never-produced first draft。

The Sulaco--on its return journey from LV-426--enters a sector controlled by the "Union of Progressive Peoples，" a nation-state engaged in an ongoing cold war and arms race。 U。P。P。 personnel board the Sulaco and find hypersleep tubes with Ripley， Newt， and an injured Hicks。 A Facehugger attacks the lead commando， and the others narrowly escape， taking what remains of Bishop with them。

The Sulaco continues to Anchorpoint， a space station and military installation the size of a small moon， where it falls under control of the military's Weapons Division。 Boarding the Sulaco， a team of Colonial Marines and scientists is assaulted by a pair of Xenomorph drones。 In the fight Ripley's cryotube is badly damaged。 It's taken aboard Anchorpoint， where Ripley is kept comatose。 Newt and an injured Corporal Hicks are awakened， and Newt is sent to Gateway Station on the way to Earth。 The U。P。P。 sends Bishop to Anchorpoint， where Hicks begins to hear rumors of experimentation--the cloning and genetic modification of Xenomorphs。

The kind of experimentation that could yield a monstrous hybrid， and perhaps even a Queen。

This book is the perfect treat for all Alien fans！Based on an unproduced screenplay by William Gibson， Pat Cadigan spins a xenomorph-filled tale that starts with Ripley， Newt， Bishop and Hicks drifting into a protected area of space （rather than ending up on the prison planet， as seen in the movie Aliens 3）They are taken in the Union of Progressive Peoples border protection team。 Ripley， unfortunately， remains comatose throughout the story， but Newt， Hicks and Bishop star， with Hicks leading， wh This book is the perfect treat for all Alien fans！Based on an unproduced screenplay by William Gibson， Pat Cadigan spins a xenomorph-filled tale that starts with Ripley， Newt， Bishop and Hicks drifting into a protected area of space （rather than ending up on the prison planet， as seen in the movie Aliens 3）They are taken in the Union of Progressive Peoples border protection team。 Ripley， unfortunately， remains comatose throughout the story， but Newt， Hicks and Bishop star， with Hicks leading， which I thoroughly enjoyed as Hicks was a great character to lead from after the movie， Aliens （the sequel to Alien）Pat Cadigan manages to add little snippets of thought from the characters we knew so well in the second movie， mainly shown through Hicks inner thoughts， as well as Bishop's。 The author also sets the scenes and atmosphere perfectly for a xenomorph showdown， with an enjoyable pace that encourages the reader to keep turning the pages。All in all， this was a thoroughly enjoyable novel！ Perfect for fans of the Alien franchise and could also be read by those who nothing about it， or who haven't seen the films。Highly recommended！ 。。。more

So yeah， I was so pumped up to read this that I queued up all the Alien movies in my mom’s Disney+ account。 I then had a bit of a panic because I promised a hot date night to this girl I met on Tinder。 After a few deep breaths， and a couple shots of whiskey， I was back at ease though。 Chicks like aliens， right？ I’ll just combine the two！ So， I grabbed a couple Little Caesar’s Hot and Ready’s， a bag of gummy worms， and a twelver of Michelob Ultras （gotta watch the carbs bros） and was all set for So yeah， I was so pumped up to read this that I queued up all the Alien movies in my mom’s Disney+ account。 I then had a bit of a panic because I promised a hot date night to this girl I met on Tinder。 After a few deep breaths， and a couple shots of whiskey， I was back at ease though。 Chicks like aliens， right？ I’ll just combine the two！ So， I grabbed a couple Little Caesar’s Hot and Ready’s， a bag of gummy worms， and a twelver of Michelob Ultras （gotta watch the carbs bros） and was all set for a sick night！She comes over and I’m pulling out all the moves like stacking two pieces of pizza on top of each other and calling it a calzone。 She kinda laughed， but wasn’t eating much， must have eaten before she came over。 After the chestburster scene， she excuses herself to go to the washroom。 Turns out she just got up and left！ After Alien finished， I went to check up on her in the bathroom and she wasn’t in there。 Can you believe that dudes？ Just bailed on me！ Oh well， her loss， more gummy worms and couch space for me。Anyways， I’m going to sugar coat this to keep this review kid friendly。 The Alien 3 movie fucking sucked。 So， it’s pretty sweet that it gets a shot at redemption here with this draft screenplay turned novel。 It’s like when a boxer gets screwed over by the judges in the title bout and the fans are all booing and throwing beers in the ring。 A while later he gets his rematch and totally destroys that guy。 I’m the champ！ *Aaron Rodgers belt-miming* Same thing here and we get a rad novel from two cyberpunk top dogs rather than a stitched-together nihilistic nothing-burger like the movie。Yeah so， the Sulaco drifts off course into this soviet-esque socialist commune space territory with Ripley， Hicks， Bishop， and Newt still aboard in hypersleep。 The Union of Progressive Peoples send in a boarding party to see what’s up and what they can steal。 They take Bishop but get attacked by a facehugger in the process and bail。 The Sulaco then continues to its destination which is this massive moon-sized space station called Anchorpoint。 The boarding party there is fucked up by a stowaway alien which they do manage to kill。 So now the UPP （commies） and the Weyland-Yutani （capitalists） have the alien bio-matter and are trying to weaponize it to get the edge in this cold war。 Bro， it doesn’t take a genius to know how this one is going to end up。The huge departure from the movies is that Ripley is sidelined。 She’s in a coma is fired off in a lifeboat before all hell breaks loose。 Hicks and Bishops know what’s going to go down and are trying to stop it before it’s too late。 When it becomes too late， they’re trying to lead an escape while nuking the station to oblivion。It is weird having Ripley completely absent and I can see why the story was kyboshed for the movie。 Having Hicks as the main character was fine but it falls back into those tropes where the marine hero is here to save the day。 OORAH！ I much preferred the unassuming warrant officer who becomes this ultimate alien killing badass。But yeah， the narration felt a little off-kilter for an Alien story。 That said， the evolution of the aliens and how they infect was a great continuation of the Alien universe。 A new breed of aliens in a larger habitat with the gore factor cranked up is most definitely a solid read。Anyways， that’s about all I got。 Adios amigos！Oh wait， check out my rad site for more content like this: The SciFi Book Guy 。。。more

This review is for an ARC copy received from the publisher through NetGalley。The long-lost unproduced screenplay of Alien3 by William Gibson。 The possible "greatness that could have been" instead of the good， but not great， movie sequel we got。 This sounded like it would be a slam-dunk， homerun of a novel。 I so wanted to love it。 But， alas， it also ended up being good， but not great。 I'm not sure if the original screenplay was a fully fleshed out one and the translation to novel form by another This review is for an ARC copy received from the publisher through NetGalley。The long-lost unproduced screenplay of Alien3 by William Gibson。 The possible "greatness that could have been" instead of the good， but not great， movie sequel we got。 This sounded like it would be a slam-dunk， homerun of a novel。 I so wanted to love it。 But， alas， it also ended up being good， but not great。 I'm not sure if the original screenplay was a fully fleshed out one and the translation to novel form by another author 30 years on was the issue， or if the source material wasn't fully realized and too many gaps had to be filled in， or if the problems lay somewhere in between。 I also found， especially in the early going of the story， the cadence of the narrative was just off。 Until the more climactic parts toward the end of the story I had a hard time establishing a smooth reading rhythm。 I'm not sure if that's due to Gibson's original writing or Cadigan's adaptation。Rather than looking at it as the sequel we almost got， if instead the novel is treated as more of an Alien "alternate universe" or fan fiction， it can be enjoyed a bit more。 There were some original， different， and at times totally cray-cray ideas， and arguably more action than even Aliens。 However， there were some ridiculously crazy concepts and political/social commentaries that made it utterly unviable as a movie （although I still question if all those ideas were in the actual screenplay or added by Cadigan）。 It's not a bad book by any means， and diehard Aliens or Sci-Fi action fans may have an easier time sitting back and just enjoying those aspects of the novel。I wouldn't rate it as high as 4*， but I'd call it somewhere between 3-3。5*。 。。。more

DNF at 13%。I was pretty damn excited to read the novelization of the unproduced William Gibson screenplay for Alien 3， but author Pat Cadigan is striking too many tonally dissonant notes for me to enjoy this。 She seems to be writing for camp， and the tongue-in-cheek， self-referential vibe of her style here is not something I'm enjoying。 I knew I was in troubled waters when Ripley is introduced to us as a crazy cat-lady， but things grew even more tremulous after Hicks is awakened from cold-sleep。 DNF at 13%。I was pretty damn excited to read the novelization of the unproduced William Gibson screenplay for Alien 3， but author Pat Cadigan is striking too many tonally dissonant notes for me to enjoy this。 She seems to be writing for camp， and the tongue-in-cheek， self-referential vibe of her style here is not something I'm enjoying。 I knew I was in troubled waters when Ripley is introduced to us as a crazy cat-lady， but things grew even more tremulous after Hicks is awakened from cold-sleep。 Our introduction to him is as a disillusioned veteran hellbent on going rouge could have been interesting。 Instead， it presents another instance for Cadigan to crack wise， writing about Hicks looking at his hospital bed pillows and thinking， "Next week he was going to rip the tags off those suckers with his bare hands。 And if he couldn't， then he'd take off and nuke them from orbit。 It was the only way to be sure。" Frankly， five chapters under my belt， this affair is just too cutesy and reads more like William Gibson's Alien 3 by way of Mad Magazine。 To top it off， although we never received the fabled Alien 3 movie that could have been， the Gibson script has been adapted previously and in much better fashion。 Take， for instance， the Alien III Audible Original Drama starring Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen， reprising their iconic roles of Hicks and Bishop， respectively。 Or the five-part miniseries from Dark Horse Comics adapting William Gibson's Alien 3。 For Alien fans who may have missed those， Cadigan's venture may suffice， if they can look past the irritating， spoofy writing style。 Personally， I'd recommend either of these other two adaptations over this， with Audible's adaptation being the superior version and the closest we're likely ever going to get to a cinematic edition。 。。。more

I love love love Alien。 From the age of about 14-20， the Alien films made up about 40% of my personality at any given moment。 So when I saw that this book existed- the novel version of the original Alien 3 that was never produced- I was beyond excited。 I didn't dislike Alien 3 but I always felt that it was a missed opportunity and never really saw the point of having Newt， Bishop， and Hicks survive all of Aliens just to die before discovery in Alien 3。 I went into this hoping that it would addre I love love love Alien。 From the age of about 14-20， the Alien films made up about 40% of my personality at any given moment。 So when I saw that this book existed- the novel version of the original Alien 3 that was never produced- I was beyond excited。 I didn't dislike Alien 3 but I always felt that it was a missed opportunity and never really saw the point of having Newt， Bishop， and Hicks survive all of Aliens just to die before discovery in Alien 3。 I went into this hoping that it would address and fix some of the things that I disliked in the movie but it didn't。 I wanted to love this book so badly and I ended up struggling to get through it。 I am fully aware that for me this is a personal preference。 It is very well written and I can see how the storyline would be very compelling for many readers， it just isn't what I enjoy in sci-fi。 I was disappointed at the lack of Ripley， she was barely in this at all （same with Newt）， personally， I think Ripley is， in a large way what makes an Alien story an Alien story and so her not being a focus in this disappointed me but I do understand the choice to sideline her for a bit。 Out of the pre-existing characters the focus is primarily on Bishop and Hicks （both of whom I do enjoy as characters） and whilst their story-arcs are fairly interesting I just connect or feel as invested as I should have been。 Also， the introduction of a LOT of new characters was pretty distracting。 In the first chapters especially there were just too many new perspectives thrown in too fast and I struggled to keep up with the switching between them and it was hard to care about all of them as there were just too many all at once。 Overall I can see the appeal of this novel but it just wasn't for me。 Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an Arc of this in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Alien 3 by Pat Cadigan（From unproduced screenplay by William Gibson）- This is a novelization of an Alien franchise movie that was never produced。 William Gibson wrote the screenplay then went on to continue writing the ground-breaking science fiction he is famous for。 There are a lot of undeveloped screenplays out there， but this one needed to come to light， even in book form if not on the screen。 Pat Cadigan， also a cyberpunk legend， turned it into a novel， and here you have it。 It's nothing li Alien 3 by Pat Cadigan（From unproduced screenplay by William Gibson）- This is a novelization of an Alien franchise movie that was never produced。 William Gibson wrote the screenplay then went on to continue writing the ground-breaking science fiction he is famous for。 There are a lot of undeveloped screenplays out there， but this one needed to come to light， even in book form if not on the screen。 Pat Cadigan， also a cyberpunk legend， turned it into a novel， and here you have it。 It's nothing like the Alien 3 you saw at the movies， and for some that might be a good thing。 The story involves the recovery of the lifeboat， with Hicks， Newt， Ripley and the artificial person Bishop（well half of him） taken to a large space station。 Of course， stupid humans ignore all pleas from the survivors and decide to test this alien life form， with terror as and death as a result。 Newt is packed on a ship heading out， and Ripley is in a coma， so it's up to Corporal Hicks and Bishop（with a new set of legs）， to lead a band of survivors across the slowly disintegrating station， once again to a lifeboat。 Aliens pop up everywhere and there is yet another new strain。 The book is fast-paced and very tense。 References to the second Alien movie "Aliens" are sprinkled throughout the book in the form of reminiscences by Hicks and Bishop。 If you like this franchise， you might enjoy this book。 。。。more

The story of how this novel came to be is almost as good as how it ended up。Many， many moons ago — back in 1987 to be precise — William Gibson was tapped to be the first of what turned out to be ten writers to tackle the script for what was to become the third film in Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise。 Gibson ultimately produced a second revision， in 1988， which toned down the story a bit， but the studio still passed on it。This second revision was adapted into a comic series by Dark Horse Comics in The story of how this novel came to be is almost as good as how it ended up。Many， many moons ago — back in 1987 to be precise — William Gibson was tapped to be the first of what turned out to be ten writers to tackle the script for what was to become the third film in Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise。 Gibson ultimately produced a second revision， in 1988， which toned down the story a bit， but the studio still passed on it。This second revision was adapted into a comic series by Dark Horse Comics in 2018， and an audio drama in 2019 by Audible Studios， but the first revision remained in the dark aside from being passed around the internet on Alien fandom sites and message boards。Now， in 2021， it sees the proper novelization it deserves; and from the Queen of Cyberpunk herself， Pat Cadigan。To say that I was excited to read this book is an understatement。 I have been a fan of both Gibson and Cadigan since I was a mere kid， and this is exactly the “peanut butter in my chocolate” type of collaboration that I dream about。This story is gritty as all hell。 Focusing largely on Hicks and Bishop after being “rescued” with Ripley and Newt in the Sulaco where they ended up at the conclusion of Aliens， this version of Alien 3 goes from “Ehhh， things might be ok。” to “What the hell do you think you’re doing？” to “Oh yeah， everything is totally screwed。”We see a whole lot of evolution in the Xenomorphs in this story。 Their adaptation and speedy evolution is both terrifying and， for franchise fans， fascinating given the total lore that already exists。 These bugs are a total game changer when it comes to their propagation and swarm-like spread。Through it all， however， we see the laser-focused persistence of Hicks and Bishop。 Naturally， as should always be in an Alien story， there is some thinly-veiled political intrigue， and the ever-present idiocy of “The Company” to help push the story along a bit。What’s striking about this book is that it is a total redirection of the bigger story。 Ripley is probably in it for about two chapters before everything gets focused on the Artificial Person and the Marine。 I applaud the change， and how a lot of material and memories from Aliens was referenced to give some extra sparkle to the situation the two find themselves in。Ms。 Cadigan tackled this project just perfectly。 There are some scantly disguised references to the current COVID-19 pandemic that I found rather amusing， but the bigger story really lends itself to that kind of comparison。 Being a fan of her previous writings， falling into a cadence and rhythm that I’m familiar with really helped churn through the pages。 The dialogue encompasses so many damn emotions， but nothing ever gets to a point where the broader picture is derailed for lack of detail or cohesiveness。 All-in-all， this was one hell of a novel to read， and I’m both incredibly happy I got to enjoy it， and very sad that I’m done with it。 I really， really， really hope this sees the screen someday。 If only so I can see some Xenomorph lemurs。 Oh yeah， there are lemurs。 。。。more

The tangled history of this project is something of a lesson is development hell。 This is one of （many， many） screenplays of Alien3 which were never produced。 It's hard to know whether it would have made a better film than the weird prison-planet version which eventually made it to screen。This completely jettisons Ripley - she was to appear in its sequel - and gives us a much larger cast to get eviscerated。 There are some not-overly compelling sub-plots about how evil the Weyland-Yutani Corporat The tangled history of this project is something of a lesson is development hell。 This is one of （many， many） screenplays of Alien3 which were never produced。 It's hard to know whether it would have made a better film than the weird prison-planet version which eventually made it to screen。This completely jettisons Ripley - she was to appear in its sequel - and gives us a much larger cast to get eviscerated。 There are some not-overly compelling sub-plots about how evil the Weyland-Yutani Corporation are， and how brave socialist outcasts are fighting for a better universe - but it's mostly an exercise in splatter gore。Much like a Doctor Who episode， there's lots of running through corridors。 And， around every corner waits yet another facehugger ready to pounce。 It fulfils all of the tropes you expect - things dripping down walls， grim terrors creeping up on our fearless heroes， and shady corporate types。There were a few too many callbacks to the previous movie - which I found a little repetitive。 Almost like the book wanted to convince the reader that it was a legitimate part of the franchise。 The inevitable countdown to destruction loses some of its tension when you can see exactly how many pages there are left。But it is good horror fun。 Gore and slime aplenty and some nice little sci-fi touches。 It's also interesting for fans of the franchise to see which bits of it seemed to make it into Alien Resurrection。And a special shout out to the typesetting！ It has some gorgeous eBook fonts - it makes such a difference having the interface text being presented as text rather than an image。 It's no Typeset In The Future - but it is a welcome surprise。Thanks to NetGalley for the review copy。 The book is released later this year and is available to pre-order now。 。。。more

With Alien 3 having come out before I was even born， I hadn't been aware of what a rocky production the blockbuster suffered from。 Initially， William Gibson was meant to write the script for it， which， mind you， he did。 While that potential version of the sequel never went into production， it now received a second life in form of this novel。 Alien 3: The Lost Screenplay is actually a novelisation of said screenplay， revealing that Alien 3 could have potentially turned out to be a very different With Alien 3 having come out before I was even born， I hadn't been aware of what a rocky production the blockbuster suffered from。 Initially， William Gibson was meant to write the script for it， which， mind you， he did。 While that potential version of the sequel never went into production， it now received a second life in form of this novel。 Alien 3: The Lost Screenplay is actually a novelisation of said screenplay， revealing that Alien 3 could have potentially turned out to be a very different film。 Following the events of Aliens， it is an action-packed story of Corporal Hicks and the android Bishop as they battle their way through xenomorphs in an area that feels very reminiscent of the Soviet Union， but is instead called the Union of Progressive People here。 I thought the claustrophobic atmosphere didn't transfer quite as well onto the pages。 While the story of the franchise occasionally likes to go a bit overboard in terms of believability， it's how everything feels that makes watching the films such a singular experience。 That uncomfortable， dark and very specific atmosphere never quite came up in this novel， which might have something to do with the entire story being driven by fights and action， which I generally find more interesting on screen than on page。 The story is fine， just not very interesting altogether。 Fans of Hicks will be pleased to find that he doesn't get killed off in the first five minutes of the story as he unceremoniously did （off-screen even） in the film， but instead even takes the lead here。 This does cost us Ripley， though， who is stepping back in here and remains a mere name mentioned every now and then。 The xenomorphs have become more deadly， too， which made them to me less interesting: they're nothing more than killing machines and became hard to see as proper antagonists as their existence felt so meaningless。 Again something that I find easier to forgive on screen than I do in a novel， where I personally enjoy motives to threats and enemies。 This will probably appeal only to die-hard fans。 A lot of the storytelling relies on you getting excited to spend more time with characters you already know。 The novel itself doesn't give you a lot of reasons to root for the protagonists or be afraid of the enemies， so you should be familiar with the plot of the films， as this isn't an appropriate introduction to the franchise。 In case you are an enthusiast， however， this might be an interesting excursion into how the story could alternatively have developed。 。。。more
