Quick recap
The crew of the starship Snark wakes early because of a signal from an unknown planetoid. Going down, they find an abandoned alien ship and, beyond it, a pyramid full of eggs. A creature latches onto one crewman's face and, back aboard, apparent relief turns into a nightmare when something bursts from his chest. From there, the creature grows in the ducts and hunts the crew one by one while Captain Standard and Executive Officer Roby try to keep order. It's the same backbone as the film, with different characters and details. The volume ends with a single crew member left alive after a final showdown with the creature.
