Alien Books




Quite a few books were written using the Aliens as the perfect opponent, usually with humans in the lead. Some books though, also have Predators which use the Aliens as hunting material. Here are some covers of these books, and an abstract. The abstract is taken from the backside of the book.

THE HATE MAKES ME THINK OF HELL. EXCEPT THAT I'M NOT DEAD YET

What happens when it becomes impossible to tell whats real and what is virtual ? For Caryn Delacroix, wife of corporate mogul Lucien, that question becomes all important when she wakes to find herself face to face with a Predator in the steaming jungles of Earth.

And yet Caryn is a 'Trophy Wife', a genetically-engineered construct supposedly incapable of unhappiness, misery or dissatisfaction - emotion that plague her almost as much as her dark, vicious nightmares. Maybe Caryn Delacroix is not really Caryn Delacroix at all. But if not, then who is she?

Set against a background of multinational intrigue, illegal slave trading and space travel, Aliens V's Predator - Deadliest of the Species has all the hallmarks of a classic from comics' Dark Maestro Chris Claremont...

And with the record breaking heat come frayed nerves and a rising crime rate. New York City detectives Rasche and Shaeffer are assigned to look into the most brutal murders they've ever seen - flayed bodies hung like curing meat on a rack - and they can't believe that just an over-heated temper tantrum is the cause.

When Shaeffer has a close encounter with one of the murderers, he realises he's run into something much bigger than the police suspect. The creature leave him with an alien device implanted in his neck and a strong feeling that this fight is a personal thing. When the military warns him to stay out of the way, Shaeffer recalls a night he spent with his brother Dutch, and the stories told over beer and cigarettes - of Alien hunters and government cover-ups...

Now Shaeffer wonders..are these Dutch's Predators', have they brought the fight to him ?
