Alien Resurrection was without a doubt one of the worst sequels of the 1990s. A sloppy script alongside a plot which belonged in the 1950s/ This novel does the best it could with this poor script and takes it to a whole new level.

Set 200 years after the events of Alien 3, "Resurrection" continues the story of Ellen...
