Publisher Description

Here, even the wind screams. Abandoned hulks of machinery rust in the colorless landscape. Dark, oily seas beat against a jagged black shore. And the remnants of a reentry space vehicle crash into the rough waves. In it sleeps Ripley, a woman who has battled the enemy twice. It killed her whole crew the first time. The second time, it slaughtered a spaceload of death-dealing Marines.

Now on this prison planet that houses only a horde of defiant, captive men, she will have to fight the ultimate alien horror one more time.

"RIPLEY KICKS ASS!!!! She's on my list of favorite fictional female heroes (along with Buffy, Xena & Marion Ravenwood.) Too bad none of them started out as literary characters. If only she had been around when I was a kid - I would have grown up wanting to be Ripley. "

    " I picked up the book-on-tape version of "Alien 3" because it was read by Lance Henriksen. And that's...pretty much the only thing I can say about this, good or otherwise. The story made absolutely no impression on me "

    " I'm a fan of Alien/Aliens movies, but this was a huge letdown. Somehow there was virtually no suspense in the entire story, and I quickly grew bored with the plot, however original the setting. Is this what happens when a book is based on a screenplay? "

    " Thoroughly enjoyable book that gives a deeper feel to the famous characters of the movie. The story is slightly different but mostly in terms of details. Jones kind of rules the place :) "

    " This remains one of my favorite movie series to date. It was innovative at its time, blending the lines between sci-fi and horror with expert ease. Getting a well-known author such as Alan Dean Foster to write the novelization was genius and really helps build the world beyond the film. "
