A dramatic new Alien novel, as Weyland-Yutani seeks to recover from the failure of Hadley's Hope, and successfully weaponize the Xenomorphs.
With the failure of Hadley's Hope, Weyland-Yutani has suffered a devastating setback--the loss of the Aliens they aggressively sought to exploit. Yet there's a reason the Company has risen to the top of the food chain. True to form, they have a redundancy already in place... the facility known as The Cold Forge.
Remote station RB-232 has become their greatest asset in weaponizing the Xenomorphs. However, when Dorian Sudler is sent to RB-232 to assess their progress, he discovers that there's a spy aboard--someone who doesn't necessarily act in the company's best interests. For Dorian, this is the most unforgivable of sins. When found, the perpetrator will be eliminated with extreme prejudice. If unmasked, though, 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...
Alex White loves quiet conversation and science facts about all of the different ways you can die. They live in the American South, but travel the world for a day job in tech. Favored pastimes include nice makeup, calligraphy, Formula One and music composition. Alex writes emotional, character driven stories, and is known for high-flying space opera and dark horror. They take their whiskey neat, and their espresso black.
“No book or film has portrayed the people behind the Weyland-Yutani Corporation as more vile and despicable as author Alex White has envisioned them” Borg.com
“author Alex White has his head in the right place with The Cold Forge, crafting a story that...tonally feels consistent with the films that inspired it” Birth.Movies.Death
“While I've enjoyed my share of Alien tie-in works across comics and prose novels, The Cold Forge by Alex White might be the first to truly impress me beyond being a few days worth of solid entertainment.” High Fever Books
“In Sudler, I think White created a better monster than the Xenomorphs” Atomic Moo
“an intense ride through a story that may sound familiar but manages to constantly subvert – and surpass – expectations” Dread Central
“Litmus paper for movie franchises worth a damn indicate a lifelong effect on fans, and for good reason. Alien: The Cold Forge tests PH positive on all fronts, because it moved me forward and brought me back. I can offer no greater praise.” Movie Nooz
"a fascinating new expansion of the Alien universe" - BookRiot
“Last year’s Alien: The Cold Forge (courtesy of Titan Books) is likely the best prose Alien novel shy of an Alan Dean Foster film novelization” - Aventures in Poor Taste
