NEW ALIENS NOVELS

Yay! A new ALIENS novel from Dark Horse Comics is coming out! And as an added bonus, its written by S.D. PERRY. She (Stephanie) is the daughter of Steve Perry who wrote some of the earlier (and kickass) ALIENS novels, some of which were co-written with S.D.

ALIENS: CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE comes out 01/16/08, which I will be buying. (synopsis)

I also found out that another ALIENS novel is coming out this october! It's called "ALIENS: STEEL EGG". How that got past me is beyond me. (link)

And here are some recommended S.Perry & S.D. Perry ALIENS novels:
THE "ALIENS SEQUEL" TRILOGY:
*EARTH HIVE
*NIGHTMARE ASYLUM
*THE FEMALE WAR

Originally a sequel to ALIENS (pre-Alien 3 Era), its set 10yrs after the events of ALIENS. Newt is 17 and in an Insane Asylum against her will. Hicks is a wounded, washed out soldier. A religious cult finds the Alien Homeworld and brings the aliens to Earth. Then it gets really cool from there! Unfortunately, the new printings have the names changed to better fit in with the post-Alien 3 continuity, so its no longer "Newt" and "Hicks", but 2 other characters with extremely similar histories as them. It still works, tho. You can also read the COMICS from which the novels are adapted; LINK.

Other kickass ALIENS novels:
*LABYRINTH
*GENOCIDE
*ALIEN HARVEST

Super hate to comment on a 3-year-old post, but S.D. Perry is actually Steve's daughter, Stephanie.
