Publisher Description
The action-packed official adaptation of Alien: Isolation and a revealing look into the lives of Ellen Ripley and her daughter, Amanda Ripley.
THE OFFICIAL VIDEO GAME ADAPTATION--AND MUCH MORE!
From birth, Amanda Ripley's life is riddled with hardship. Her parents live on the edge of poverty, so her mother--Ellen Ripley--seeks off-world contracts that lead to a position aboard the commercial hauler Nostromo. Then when the deep-space vessel disappears, Amanda passes into adulthood focused on discovering one thing.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ELLEN RIPLEY?
Amanda's quest pulls her into the underbelly of society, where few can be trusted. On Luna she meets someone who seems the exception--Private Zula Hendricks of the Colonial Marines but their relationship is short-lived. Just as Amanda appears to hit rock bottom... a lead appears.
To follow it, she must travel to the remote Sevastopol Station. There she hopes to find the answers she seeks. But the station is in ruins, and death stalks the corridors in the form of a deadly alien the likes of which she never could have imagined.

Screenshot?
Keeps referencing screen shots and in fact you’d need them to make sense of what he is saying but the book has none. If someone could point me to some, somewhere I’d change my rating.
Fantastic game, disappointing book
Expected sooo much more. This is a massive game. After finishing each objective, I tried exploring the station to find other things before moving on. But the book didn’t cover even a tenth of the station or even the major obstacles standing in her way. No attempt was made to convey to the reader the darkness, the silence, the terror or the ‘Isolation’ of the main character that the game did so well. There was no ambiance. Not even any frustration at not being able to complete an objective. I went nuts trying to figure things out. Ripley walked through the station like it was wide open. Too easy. Way too much time was spent on Amanda’s back story that had nothing to do with the story. Nice try, though.
