Alien: The Dark Star

by Mr-Worth-A-Read

My own prequel to 'Alien', based on 'Dark Star' by Dan O'Bannon, except with a horror twist. Set 19 years before Alien, the UAATF Dark Star lands on an alien planet, only to discover an unstoppable, nightmarish Demon of a life form which begins to hunt down the crew as the story closes on an awesome climax... Rated T for horror themes and infrequent language.
