While Titan’s Aliens: Bishop is due for release in December, news on Titan’s upcoming Aliens slate has been quiet. Thanks to a new BNC listing, we now know that Titan also has another Alien novel on the way next April: Alien: Uncivil War by Brendan Deneen!
After narrowly escaping a Xenomorph attack and crash landing on the wrong planet, former military man Chris Temple just wants a peaceful life with his daughters. He just needs to deal with the brewing civil war and a Xenomorph on the loose.
War will always find a man like you.
This ALIEN story begins where most end: with a xenomorph loose on a damaged spaceship hurtling through space. Once a highly decorated marine, Chris Temple, a recently widowed single father to two young daughters, Jane, 11, and Emma, 8, is onboard. Despite his particular set of skills, Chris doesn’t get involved in the fight with the alien, instead focusing on keeping his children safe as the ship comes in for a crash landing.
The family land safely on an idyllic outpost planet, where Chris is told that the ship has been destroyed beyond recognition and nothing could have survived the crash. That’s only the first lie. Chris and his daughters love their new life, but something doesn’t feel right. Chris is a paranoid type, but just because he’s paranoid, doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
There are nasty surprises in store as Chris investigates the web of lies and conspiracies. After leaving a ruined Earth, it seems Chris and his daughters have crash-landed on a planet on the verge of all-out civil war. Chris will have to call on the battle skills he never wanted to use again in order to protect his daughters, deal with violence-hungry marines, and battle the xenomorph that’s killing people regardless of which side of the civil war they’re on.

I can't wait to find out what Jonesy's new owner (a forklift driver) thinks of Robert Morse's banned book 'Space Beast' as he discusses it over an Aspen beer with an old guy nicknamed 'Lucky' who goes on to tell his story; an ex commercial science officer who was due to ship out on the Nostromo but was reassigned for another rotation on Theedus 2 days before departure.. 'Aliens: Gateway' new from titan books inbound... 🤣
Served out of a hypersleep pod.
Hey, that's a story I think we all want to hear about. The story about the man who served Ripley an ice cream cone before the fated Nostromo run. And then he shows up 57 years later and serves Ripley another ice cream, feeling that he met her before but can't quite put his finger on it.
I dunno. I have a feeling this novel is gonna include a guy who served Ripley an ice cream at some point.
