Review of 'Alien: Out of the Shadows (Canonical Alien trilogy, #1)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
An enjoyable read, but suffers the same thing every prequel does. Lack of stakes. The story wasn't aided by Ripley, I would have preferred leaving her out so that I didn't know how it ended.
Story wise, great. kept me interested the entire time.
