The fandom is still recovering from the tragedy that was Aliens – Colonial Marine and their decision to shoehorn Hicks into the game and retcon Alien 3.
Ever since that revelation, fans have been slightly worried about the inclusion of Ripley. Out of the Shadows is set 37 years after the end of Alien, prior to Aliens and features Ripley and Ash. In our interview with Tim Lebbon, he did reveal that each of the new novels would be its own story but that they would form an overall arc – how exactly remains to be seen. By and large, the Alien novels were all self-contained one-off adventures. This is something seen only in the first four novels published in the early 90s. Unlike the last series of Aliens novels, the new trilogy is supposed to be its own linked continuity. Out of the Shadows is the first in a trilogy to be published by Titan Books. Tim Lebbon’s Alien – Out of the Shadows is the first Alien novel to be published in over 5 years, the last being Aliens – No Exit, the sixth and final book in Dark Horse Press’ run of Alien novels. In a dramatic twist, this novel will return us to that time, to Ellen Ripley, and to never-before-revealed secrets of the Weyland-Yutani Corporations … secrets that lead into the events of the second film, Aliens… and beyond! The massively acclaimed Alien franchise is one of the most successful of all time, beginning with the first film in 1979.
