An American still living, known for fantasy & sci-fi novels. I made a slight error on the novel I was thinking of, it was a novelization of the film script not the other way around. Although this author wrote many original novels also.

No not him, I haven't kicked the bucket yet. I wrote novels of movies in two successful sci-fi fantasy movie series including one that was actually credited to someone else who is more famous as a director.

Orson Scott Card?

None of those, but he does go by three names like Card. He wrote the novelization of perhaps the scariest space movie ever which spawned a couple of sequels.

"Alien" is still the scariest movie I've ever seen in a real theatre. But perhaps that's because we sat in the front row lol. I should have taken gravol in advance! (not sure what you call it in your country - dimenhydrinate, dramamine, vomex etc).

You got it, Toby- Alan Dean Foster it is. He also wrote several Star Trek & Star Wars books. Star Wars: A New Hope novel is credited to George Lucas but actually written by Foster.
So who the heck are you?

Guess it's not my 'cup of tea' then as "Jaws" was more than enough for me in the distant past! LOL

"Alien" is 10 times scarier (IMO) than "Jaws".
Yet, I've watched both several times...a glutton for punishment...

I'd have to agree that Alien was more of a scarefest that Jaws, but I think Jaws had more of a visceral impact to most people because of the possibility that it could be real. I mean how many people get a chance to go off in a spaceship to an alien planet? But anybody can go to a beach or for a swim in lake or ocean. Nobody wanted to go to the beach after Jaws.
