Aliens Couldron

[Corpral Hicks]

Space: the most hostile environment in the universe. In the cargo hold of
the spaceship Virginia, a hive of hibernating aliens begins to awake.
Meanwhile, on the Umiak, an elite troupe of cadets is forced into servitude
by an unscrupulous captain taking the ship to a smuggler's rendezvous with
the eerily silent Virginia. When the cadets unsuspectingly transport the
aliens onboard, they start a battle for their lives, fighting the smugglers,
the captain, and the monsters who among them. The war is about to begin . .

Yeah.

Been there, done that.

What ever happened to mystery, suspense, and exploration? Why does
everything have to be action, action, action these days?

I think that a novel about the Alien really shouldn't use it as the
word as a direct noun to describe the creature, and really ought to
deal with the confusion that such creatures, whatever they are could
exist, maybe with the main character going into a state of denial about
what it is, otherwise they are no longer alien. Maybe if there is a
human using them as war-weapons, he might periodically lapse into a
state of shock about dealing with such things so closely, and
periodically might wonder about the past of the creatures that he seems
to be dealing with, and this might be much more important to me rather
than just saying that we obviously know what they are with a kind of a
limited sense of what something so obvious is.

I still go back to the original novelisation of Alien by Alan Dean
Foster and have quite a sense of joy reading it because the writer had
a fair amount of confusion to plough through in relation to the
material he was dealing with and he wrote about it as if he could only
half imagine what it looked like himself because I don't think that he
did honestly know what the creature looked like, and maybe what we
understand to be the creature was seen in the original movie was only a
way of humanly interpreting the creature.
