We just have had confirmation that the prequel novel won't even discuss the Engineers or Shaw, not to mention rumors that Awakening will just be an Aliens clone. Why did we chase Ridley away from these God-like beings?? Were we really that easily offended by something other than evolution?? Are we really that pathetic that a piece of FICTIONs idea of our origins was enough to make us actually ANGRY????? Great job guys! Really, astounding work! And now this franchise is run into the ground because of us. Congrats guys. Congrats that you couldn't handle something that questions evolution.
Ya all been rolled:

Discussed this before....
It certainly was something that i think the Fans thought would have Covered the Events around David and Dr Shaw and so i think Fans may have expected a Extending The Crossing kind of Novel.
But alas it was a Prequel Novel to the Covenant Mission.
The Book Cover was also Very Deceiving
Something like this i Knocked Up would be more Fitting!
As the Mission is about a Group of Humans who wish to GET AWAY from the Hell that Earth has become to seek a New Home and a New Start. But then about the Attempted Sabotage of the Covenant Mission.
But for Marketing Purposes the BOOK Cover they gave us would likely Trick Fans to thinking more of a Connection to the Xenomorph etc and so to get more Sales/$$$$
Similar Trick they used for the Alien Covenant poster.

I will add that i do think a Prequel Novel that Covers David and Dr Shaw is something that is WARRANTED.
There is Quite a lot of Shenanigans that had Transpired from when the Juggernaught carrying David and Dr Shaw arrived at Planet 4, until the Weeks after David had Achieved his Masterpiece and NOW is just AWAITING the Arrival of any would be Visitors to his Paradise.
You could also have some Coverage of what Happened after David and Dr Shaw discovered the Juggernaught, until just prior to David arriving at the System that contains the Engineers Home World.
There is a STORY to be TOLD... a Potentially Dark and Sinister one at that.... we only have a Glimpse at Davids Work Shop and Notes/Drawings...
A Picture Paints a Thousand Words..... but a Painting does-not tell the Full Story!
