"This book I truly believe lives up to it's title, this is the definitive source on the making of Alien. It is superbly written and I can say that for any fan of the film they need to add this book to their collection."
"YES! Weekly" (print and online), October 26, 2011
"Even the most jaded and knowledgeable Alien aficionado will be amazed by the breadth and depth of research Nathan has done. The book truly is everything you ever wanted to know about Alien but were afraid (for whatever reason!) to ask. In addition to conducting extensive interviews with the film's creative team, Nathan has also packed the volume with behind-the-scenes photographs (some never-before-seen) and a variety of inserts and enclosures, including reproductions of Ridley Scott's storyboards, HR Giger's conceptual art, sketches, blueprints, advertising materials and more."
