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.

The Cold Forge
Weyland-Yutani has suffered a devastating setback: the loss of the Xenomorphs they aggressively sought to exploit. True to form, they have a redundancy already in place… the facility known as The Cold Forge. When company man Dorian Sudler is sent to assess their progress, he discovers that there’s a spy aboard who may destroy the entire station… That is, if the Xenomorphs don’t do the job first.

Prototype
Corporate spy Tamar Prather steals a Xenomorph egg from Weyland-Yutani, taking it to a lab run by Venture... Former Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks has been tasked with training personnel to deal with anything that gets thrown their way, but nothing can prepare them for the horror that breaks out of Venture’s lab. 

Into Charybdis
“Shy” Hunt and the tech team from McAllen Integrations thought it was an easy job—set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, built on the abandoned ruins of a complex known as “Charybdis.” There are just two problems: the colony belongs to the Iranian state, and the complex is located above a series of hidden caves. Charybdis has 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 of being spies, but manage to send out a distress signal... to the Colonial Marines.
Alex White was born in Mississippi and has lived most of their life in the American South. Alex is the author of The Salvagers Trilogy, which begins with A BIG SHIP AT THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE; ALIEN: THE COLD FORGE; and the forthcoming ALIEN: INTO CHARYBDIS. Currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia, they enjoy music composition, calligraphy and challenging, subversive fiction.

Tim Waggoner writes original dark fantasy, horror, and media tie-ins including Supernatural, Kingsman, and Resident Evil. In 2017 he received the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction, he’s been a finalist for the Shirley Jackson and the Scribe awards, and his fiction has received numerous honorable mentions in volumes of Best Horror of the Year. Tim teaches creative writing and composition at Sinclair College in Dayton, Ohio.

Praise for Alien: The Cold Forge


“[Every Mountain Made Low is] a good story, in a world I want to see more of, with an ambitiously portrayed main character – I enjoyed it, and I’d recommend you give it a try.”—Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews


“[Every Mountain Made Low] is an all-nighter and it's worth it as the ending is quirky (just like the rest of the book). I cannot wait to read Alex White's next novel.”—Night Owl Reviews

Prasie for Tim Waggoner, author of Alien: Prototype


“Stephen King meets Franz Kafka.”—Dayton.com 


“Bram Stoker Award-winner Tim Waggoner consistently delivers the goods when it comes to hard-hitting horror fiction, with compelling characters and dangerous horrors at every turn.”—This is Horror


“A fast-paced, over-the-top, blood-and-guts thriller . . . for those who like their horror bloody, their heroes tarnished and their action just this side of unbelievable.”—Publisher’s Weekly


“Tim Waggoner manages to meld surreal imagery and events with strong character work and an immersive point of view, resulting in work that shocks you on the surface and unsettles you right down to your bones.”—FEAR.net

Praise for Alien: Into Charybdis

A gripping sci-fi horror in its own right that will appeal to lovers of space horror whether they’re Alien fans or not. – Book Riot


A fresh tale of dread... provides ample shocks and screams – Space.com


I can’t stress this enough ... Alien: Into Charybdis is quite simply a must-own for fans of the franchise, and one an aficionado would be sorely mistaken to skip. – Movie Nooz
