Description

When Ellen Ripley finally returns to Earth, she learns that the planet LV-426—now called Acheron—has been colonized. But LV-426 is where Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo found the original Xenomorph—the killing machine known as the Alien.

Protected by the Colonial Marines, the colonists seek to terraform the storm-swept planet. Two such residents are Anne and Russell Jorden, seeking a fortune that eluded them on Earth. On Acheron, Anne gives birth to the colony’s first newborn. Rebecca Jordan, also known as Newt.

The wildcatters discover a vast, decaying spaceship. The horseshoe-shaped vessel is of particular interest to Weyland-Yutani, and may be the answer to their dreams. But what Anne and Russ find on board proves to be the stuff, not of dreams, but of nightmares.

  • Another Dud

    Don’t waste the time or money. It’s another shameless cash-grab with the alien name.

    The author claims to be a big fan of the franchise; yet they butcher key lore details in unforgivable ways.

    These novels have really taken a dive in recent years. I’d stay far away.

    I couldn't put it down. Finally the story of the Colonists! Excellent character development and commitment to detail. Only wish there was more on how Newt survived alone until Ripley got there. Excellent!
  • Great book...couldn't put it down!

    I recommend this book 100%! As a true fan of the Alien franchise, I was elated to discover there were three more books in the Alien series: Out of the Shadows, Sea of Sorrows & River of Pain. These books are a true fans dreams come true! I devoured all 3 books & thoroughly enjoyed every bit of them. I anxiously await another new tale about the sinister Weyland Yutani Corporation and their ultimate prize to capture an alien by any means possible. Thank you Tim Lebbon, James A. Moore, & Christopher Golden for such wonderful tales into the world of Alien!
