About the book: year / PREFACE: This collection includes both cycles of novels by such authors as Alan Dean Foster, Tim Lebbon, Steve Perry, Arthur Quarry, and scattered works dedicated to Aliens and Predators. This collection can safely be called "The Universe of Aliens and Predators." The Alien Universe series owes its birth to the film Alien, which premiered in the United States on May 25, 1979. The film received a number of awards, honors and nominations. In the same year, Alan Dean Foster revised the script into a full-fledged book of the same name. Then the series was continued by Dean Foster and many other authors, including Russian ones. A cross-over fiction series, Alien vs. Predator, was also launched. The Alien, also called the Xenomoorph, is a fantasy alien species from the universe of the film Alien and its sequels. Has the famous pharyngeal jaws. They navigate by smell using a pheromone locator. They perceive electromagnetic radiation and use low-frequency ultrasound for navigation. It is not known what kind of vestibular apparatus the Aliens have, but they are capable of abruptly changing their position in all three planes without losing orientation in space (move along the ceiling, wall and floor). Aliens easily distinguish androids from people and usually do not touch them unless they attack them. The Predators, also called "Hunters", are a fictional alien race whose members are central characters in the science fiction films Predator, Predator 2, Alien vs. Predator, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, and Predators, the fan film Predator : Dark Ages”, as well as an impressive media franchise, including computer games, slot machines, attractions, toys, comics, books, etc. In the films, the alien race does not have a specific name, but in some books and comics the impostor race is Yautja , in others - khish, in some unofficial translations - naudu. Known for hunting other species of creatures, including humans and Aliens, for sport. In the process of hunting, Predators obtain so-called trophies, which are the skulls and bones of the creatures being hunted. CONTENTS: 1. Foster. Alien 1.2. Foster Aliens (Alien-2). 3. Foster.
