Alien: Colony War

About this book

Deep space has never been more dangerous. In Alien: Colony War, acclaimed author David Barnett returns to the universe of the legendary Alien franchise with a tense, claustrophobic tale of survival on the Frontier. The crew of the salvage vessel Clara have spent five long years scraping a living from the edges of human space. Now, hauling a vast cargo of valuable mineral ore and some unidentified bio-material samples picked up on a barren rock, they are finally heading for The Hub and a long-overdue payday. Captain Gambell wakes from cryosleep feeling better than ever, with a wedding anniversary to celebrate and a family future to plan. But the ship's computer is strangely silent, the corridors are too quiet, and something is not right aboard the Clara. As the colonies teeter on the brink of conflict and powerful interests move in the shadows, a small crew finds itself caught between corporate greed and a perfect killing machine. Fans of the Alien films, military-flavoured space horror and gripping sci-fi thrillers will find plenty to love in this fast-paced, 45-chapter novel of roughly 90,000 words. Packed with dread, human drama and the unmistakable atmosphere of the franchise, Alien: Colony War is a must-read for any follower of the xenomorph saga.
