Even though I've watched the film numerous times, the added details in the book were a really great addition.

This may be my last foray into the Alien universe. Alien: Covenant by Alan Dean Foster and narrated by Tom Taylorson is available through Hoopla Digital. The story was interesting was slightly more interesting than the Alien Covenant Origins title but again did not have a compelling feel. The narration was good except when a character raised their voice. Then it was jarring and unpleasant. There was more yelling in this title than the last one. I really do not like how the narrator handled the raised voices of all the characters. I have one or two other Alien titles in my Audible library. I will get around to them at some point but they are not high on my TBR list. I appreciate my library gives me access to so many titles for free. If it had not been for this access, I would not have listened to Alien: Covenant.

A fast-paced horror/thriller that is a significant improvement over the film. Of course, I've only seen the movie once, but Alan Dean Foster's writing is perfect for this kind of cheap thrill. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and wouldn't hesitate to read more of Foster's movie novelizations or original works.

Better than the movie. Further emphasizes the point that AI is creepy

If you the movie then there is a 50/50 chance you'll enjoy this. For the most part, the story is the same, but the action scenes have been largely watered down.
that being said, if you've read Alan Dean Foster before then you know what to expect. More science than flow. And the character's are all prone to largely overdone speeches that I for one find difficult to believe likely.
