XENOMORPH TIMELINE
Prometheus (Novelization) is a book released in 2012. Its story takes place in 2093, right after Prometheus (2093) and 11 years before Alien: Covenant (2104). In the Alien books timeline, it comes before Alien: Covenant - Origins (2103).
Prometheus is a 2012 Japanese novelization of the film of the same name that was adapted by writer and editor Eizo Suzuki from a screenplay written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof, and was published by Taibundo in Japan on August 1, 2012.
In 2089, archaeologist Elizabeth Shaw finds 35,000-year-old cave paintings on a Scottish island, showing a giant pointing to the stars. In 2093, the spacecraft Prometheus reaches the star the giant pointed to, with 17 people on board.
The book opens with a prologue set in 2089 that is not in the film: Meredith Vickers and a Weyland scientist test the android David, in scenes close to the viral short "Happy Birthday, David." The ending is also longer. Before agreeing to repair David, Shaw makes him admit that he spiked Holloway's drink.
In Eizo Suzuki's Japanese novelization of Prometheus, the crew of the Prometheus follows ancient star maps to a distant moon in 2093. A new prologue shows Meredith Vickers testing the android David.
