Original Sin
by Michael Jan Friedman
Centuries after the death of the original Ellen Ripley, her clone has
joined the fight against the Alien threat. With the help of an android
named Call, a brutal hired gun named Johner, and a paraplegic mechanic
named Vriess, she will battle an Alien horror, and discover the answer
to a question that pierces the Alien mystery to its seething
acid-chamber of a heart.

DNA War**
by Diane Carey
In a bleak galaxy, the hospitable planet Rosamond 6 is a rare find. But
while it may look like an oasis among the stars, it harbors a fatal
secret: it is infested with Aliens. Eager to prove her theory that the
Aliens can be reasoned with, anthropologist Jocasta Malvaux has set up
an observation post there. And something unexpected happens: the Aliens
don't attack. But, why? Could it be that the monsters are evolving? Or
is it a matter of time until every person on the planet must fight for
their lives?
