Storyline
Business magnate Peter Weyland speaks with his newly activated android, who chooses the name David after observing Michelangelo’s statue. David comments on his own unlimited lifespan as compared to Weyland’s, which unsettles Weyland. While repairing the ship, the crew picks up a transmission of a human voice from a nearby planet, which appears eminently more habitable than Origae-6.

Despite having written more than 20 standalone novels, Alan Dean Foster is very well known for his movie novelizations.
Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“If your publisher is jumping up and down at the thought of your novel, it's because he's picturing the movie poster on the side of the bus.”
