Alien Covenant Prequel and Sequel Books...solved?

MemberChestbursterMay 12, 20176296 Views4 RepliesI was thinking about these books today and I dug up the news posts about them. Then I commented in them (forgetting that as new releases, they wouldn't be bumped in the forum).
So first.
In regards to the news release from Rick:
[EXCLUSIVE] ASK AUTHOR ALAN DEAN FOSTER YOUR ALIEN: COVENANT NOVEL QUESTIONS!
This indicated we'd get a chance to send some questions to the author Alan Dean Foster about any of his novelizations including the ones he's working on now.
Did I miss this? If not is it still upcoming or has it been put on hold until a time that is closer to the books release?
Next, regarding the books, a news release from Chris:
ALIEN: COVENANT 2 - THE OFFICIAL SEQUEL NOVELIZATION COMING THIS FALL!
"Not only are Titan Books publishing an Alien: Covenant prequel novel, written by Alan Dean Foster, they are also going to be publishing Alien: Covenant 2 - The Official Sequel to the Blockbuster Film! The 304-page paperback novel is expected to hit shelves on September 26th, 2017."
I keep seeing confusion in the forums about how many books are slated to come out. I tried googling but didn't find any indication of two books. Has anyone confirmed that this will definitely be 2 books? One before and one after Alien Covenant?
Good morning Michelle Johnston and QueenElizabethShaw. Amazon changed the characterization of the title of the sequel novel when Ridley Scott announced Alien: Awakening. I believe Titan was going to plan with the mystery until Scott blew out in the interview at the time that Alien: Awakening was next. Then Amazon changed the description.
If you visit this topic, prepare yourself for a mountain of wishful thinking from me because I believe/wish/hope that a good portion (if not all) of Alien: Awakening was filmed with Alien: Covenant in Spring 2016.
