For the summary of the novel "Aliens: Rogue" in the published aliens novel page, it says:



Quote:


Outline: Despite his reservations, a brawny mechanic agrees to carpool with the reporter he has fallen head over heels for, turning a long road trip into a journey of desire and destiny. [by Ingram]




This is an error. It does not describe Aliens: Rogue, the novel or the comic. It must be for another book. They have the same description on the amazon.com page, but I can assure you it is wrong



The synopsis at amazon uk is quite a bit more correct:



Quote:
Synopsis

Welcome to the former penal colony of Charon, now an Alien hive where Professor Kleist rules, whose speciality is making people disappear. Captain Joyce Palmer and her marines are bound for Charon to stop Kleist, and only they too can stop his creation, the ROGUE.

Just goes to show even publishers are not infallible! Checked out my copy of Rogue - well spotted!

I don't think it was the publisher, I think it was the distributor. Ingram, who is listed as the source for the wrong info, is a book distributor, not a publisher. So I figure the middleman who bought the book from the publisher and sold it to amazon.com gave amazon.com faulty info.

My dictionary says (uk) says elfish or elvish and are the adjective of elfin. Both are correct.
