Collected together for the first time, this action-packed omnibus is
filled with secrets, lies, and the silver smile of the deadly
Xenomorphs. Across three epic novels, see how the Xenomorph doctrine of
Weyland-Yutani and Venture is a short and angry road to hell.
Cold Forge
With the failure of Hadley's Hope, Weyland-Yutani has suffered a
devastating setback--the loss of the Xenomorphs they aggressively sought
to exploit. Yet there's a reason the company rose to the top. True to
form, they have a redundancy already in place... the facility known as
The Cold Forge. When Dorian Sudler is sent to assess their progress, he
discovers that there's a spy aboard--someone who doesn't necessarily act
in the company's best interests. If unmasked, this person may be forced
to destroy the entire station... and everyone on board. That is, if the
Xenomorphs don't do the job first.
Prototype
Corporate spy Tamar Prather steals a steals a Xenomorph egg from
Weland-Yutani, taking it to a lab run by Venture, a direct rival to the
Weyland-Yutani corporation. Unaware of the dangers it poses, the
scientists come to an inevitable conclusion: they need a human test
subject...
Former Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks has been tasked with training
personnel to deal with anything that gets thrown their way. Yet nothing
can them prepare them for the horror that breaks out of Venture's lab.
Unless stopped, it will kill every human being on the planet.
Into Charybdis
It was supposed to be an easy job for "Shy" Hunt and the McAllen
Integrations crew: set up environmental systems for the brand new
Hasanova Data Solutions colony, an Iranian state-owned colony built on
the abandoned complex known as "Charybdis." But the ruins have a darker
history than any could imagine, and its depths harbor deadly secrets.
The deeper they dig, the more Shy is convinced there's no one they can
believe. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the
workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between
the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen integrations crew are
imprisoned, accused as spies, but manage to send out a distress
signal... to the Colonial Marines.
