Definitive Alien Novel Chronological Order

[cloverfan98]

Is there a definitive list of the Alien novels reading order? So I'm familer with some of the continuity of the Alien novels espically the movie novelizations and the old Dark Horse novels adapting their comics and reprinted as the Complete Aliens Omnibus 1-7 but I'm a little in over my head with the newest books and comics. I know the order of the Shadows/Sea/River series and that the Rage War Trilogy occurs after Sea of Sorrows but I'm lost when it comes to newer titles like Prototype, Resistance, Echo, Rescue, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It goes:

Isolation (game/ novel)
Blackout (game)
Defiance (comic)
Prototype (novel)
Resistance (comic)
Rescue (comic)
(All the above are linked)

Echo isn't linked to the above, but might be linked Infiltrator.  Dunno yet.

Cold Forge and Phalanx aren't linked to anything else and can be read whenever.

No worries.

Try Xenopedia if you want more complete lists.

And Rage War does take place after Sea of Sorrows right?

Yeah.  Sea of Sorrows is 2497 and Rage War is in 2692.
