“As the colony ship Covenant prepares for launch, and the final members of the crew are chosen, a series of violent events reveal a conspiracy to sabotage the launch. Yet the perpetrators remain hidden behind a veil of secrecy. The threat reaches all the way up to Hideo Yutani—the head of the newly merged Weyland-Yutani Corporation—when his daughter is kidnapped. Is the conspiracy the product of corporate espionage, or is it something even more sinister?
While Captain Jacob Branson and his wife Daniels prepare the ship, Security chief Dan Lopé signs a key member of his team, and together they seek to stop the technologically advanced saboteurs before anyone else is killed, and the ship itself is destroyed in orbit.”
这是福克斯很快会开放预订的官方小说“异形契约：起源”的故事大纲，“当契约号选好最后一位船员，准备出发的时候，一系列企图破坏行程的阴谋暴力活动发生了，但犯罪分子的身份成疑。这一威胁也降临到了Weyland-yutani公司新的老总Hideo Yutani的身上，他的女儿被绑架了。这些破坏事件是针对公司合并，还是说有更险恶的用心？
当契约号船长Branson（付兰兰）和他的妻子Daniels（Waterson）筹备团队时，招募了Dan Lopé为安全主管，他们一起要赶在有人被害或者契约号被毁前阻止这些高科技破坏犯罪活动。
老雷提到下一步异形要讲述普罗米修斯和契约之间的故事，不知道是否就是这本官方小说中提到的内容呢？虽然看起来故事情节和以往的风格不搭，但是老雷向来风格多变，也许下一步走太空犯罪路线？
